The Best place for a break in Valencia - Avenida de la Horchata

The springtime sun has reawakened a desire for that uniquely Valencian drink, Orxata (Horchata in Spanish).  Orxata (legend says it came from king exclaiming that it was like drinking gold "Or" in Catalan) is a cold drink made from tiger nut milk and sugar. It is traditionally served with "Fartones", a sweet pastry which is great dipped into the orxata or eaten alone. For the best Orxata, head up to the Alboraya area in Valencia and visit the Orxata Avenue and experience this gastronomical wonder for yourself!
