You can enjoy fresh fish, seafood, paella and a wide range of tapas in the quaint local restaurants. In addition, in the Playa Flamenca area of La Zenia, a street market is held every Saturday morning selling local products such as fresh food, clothes, household goods, etc.; here you can fill your larder and fridge with good quality products at the best prices.
