Planta Azul
Planta Azul is a restaurant in El Palmar near Valencia that specializes in traditional Valencian rice dishes and seafood. The building features cozy indoor dining areas and a large terrace overlooking the channels of the Albufera wetland.
The building originally functioned as a wine storage facility for over 50 years before becoming a restaurant in 1974. Current owners took over in 1992 and shifted focus to using fresh ingredients and high-quality seafood.
