Bar Cabanyal

Valencia's Beaches


Opposite the market in the traditional fishing district, you'd expect a bit of a marine flavour, and indeed the young and enthusiastic team does an excellent line in seafood at very reasonable prices. Though the decor is nothing special, it's an upbeat, optimistic spot. Opening hours are extended in summer.
