One of the only times we visit Valencia during the day and endure the pulsating heat is to visit the food market in Valencia which opens from 7am - 3pm. We start off with churro's and chocolate a big favourite of mine. Thin hot doughnuts dipped into warm thick chocolate, they also do a gorgeous freshly squeezed Valencian orange juice.
The building is a shrine to all things edible, and even the building is stunning.
Plenty of olives to choose from
Pimenton used in a lot of Spanish cooking
Dried fruits and nuts
Varieties of snails
Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
Jamon
Live eels
Even though we are an island with many fishing ports, you never see a selection of fish like this in the UK.
As the temperature reaches a staggering 36 degrees we head back to the house and a dip in the pool
