Puzol, like much of the Valencia region, is known for its rich culinary traditions. The town’s cuisine heavily features locally grown produce such as oranges, rice, and vegetables. Paella, Valencia’s signature dish, is a must-try in Puzol, where it is often prepared with fresh seafood or chicken and rabbit, depending on local preferences.
Local restaurants and cafes offer a variety of traditional Spanish and Valencian dishes, including fideuà (a noodle-based dish similar to paella), esgarrat (roasted peppers with salted cod), and all i pebre (a stew made with eel). Puzol’s beachside eateries serve fresh seafood dishes that showcase the Mediterranean’s bountiful offerings.
For those interested in sweets, Puzol’s bakeries often feature turrón (nougat) and horchata, a refreshing drink made from tiger nuts, both of which are typical of the region. Visitors can also enjoy local wine and cava, which are produced in nearby vineyards.
