Gastronomy:
Valencia's gastronomy is based on natural products that are at the origin of the so-called Mediterranean diet, a healthy cuisine simply prepared. For this reason, the local countryside and the sea are the main providers for Valencia recipes, outstanding of which is the 'paella', which can be of meat, shellfish or mixed, holding pride of place on the menu. Rice, of course, is also used in a majority of typical dishes, prepared in a wide variety of ways from rice in the oven (al horno), 'a banda', prepared with fish, or also black rice done in squid's ink in which it is served. Fish is the main item in many typical recipes such as 'all i pebre', a dish of eels seasoned with garlic and pepper, or 'fideuà', made of noodles in fish and shellfish broth. Valencia also offers a wide variety of sweetmeats which, for the most part, are based on cereals and nuts as inherited from Moorish culture.
