3. 1-
We found health food stores throughout Valencia, although the
mother lode was the J. Navarro, Terra Verde Store in the old
part of city not far from the train station. It is large and
beautiful, the closest you will find to a Whole Foods-type store,
with a particularly large selection of gluten-free products
including baked-goods. They have produce, beauty products, bulk
foods, cold and frozen, an extensive cheese selection, basically
anything you could want . http://www.herbolarionavarro.es/

There are tiny health food stores sprinkled throughout the city.
Out by the university is Ecorganic ecomercat, Avda Blasco
Ibanez . This store is not huge, but has a good selection and
variety of food including gluten-free, goat/sheep cheese and
yogurt, bio produce, a tiny bit of bio meat, plenty of dry goods,
body care, and more.. The closest Metro is Aragon. Out of the
metro, walk up a few blocks and take a right onto Avenue Blasco
Ibanez. http://www.ecorganicweb.com/

A small store in the north part of the old city not far
