Early morning Valencian bakery ambience

Dec 18, 2023, 02:34 PM

It's 04:30 AM in one of Valencia's oldest bakeries, Forn Desamparats. The bakery assistant begins preparations before opening at 06:30 AM. You'll hear the baker meticulously measuring ingredients, the kneading of dough, and the clinking of baking utensils. Forn Desamparats continues to thrive as a family-owned bakery in the heart of Valencia, while most similar local bakeries have either been closed down or absorbed by chains.
