In the United Kingdom, Valencia likes it. So much so that it has been named “City of the Year” in 2025 by the readers of the Food and Travel Reader Awards 2025.
“This recognition, the result of the direct vote of British readers, confirms the international projection of Valencia as a top gastronomic destination and reinforces the positioning of our city as an authentic, sustainable, friendly and Mediterranean cultural destination in a market as relevant as the British”, said Paula Llobet, Councillor for Tourism, Innovation and Investment and President of the Visit València Foundation.
This award is presented every year by one of the most influential gastronomic and travel magazines in the United Kingdom, within the framework of the World Travel Market.
The special edition of the magazine, which mentions each of the winners in the award categories, will be available from Friday 28 November in Marks & Spencer stores, most Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Booths and WHSmith stores in the UK.
Food and Travel Magazine has a circulation of over 30,000 readers and is one of the UK’s most influential publications among travelers who choose their destinations based on food, culture and lifestyle.
