11. Sabbia by Gabbeach
Right on the beachfront with direct views of the Mediterranean, this is the perfect plan to savour the summer. Its creative and refreshing signature cocktails invite you to enjoy the sunset from Paseo de Neptuno, with the sea breeze as your soundtrack.
Don’t forget that in the city’s liveliest areas, like Ruzafa or the streets near Calle Caballeros in the historic centre, many bars set up tables outdoors so you can enjoy València by moonlight. Plaza del Negrito, for example, is filled with tables in the summer months. Keep in mind that these are residential areas and may have some restrictions. That’s why it’s worth exploring other spots with more space to chat or enjoy music into the night—like València Marina Norte.
You definitely can’t say there’s nowhere to have a good time!
Happy terrace hopping!
