Hortchata was better and definitely much cheaper than Santa Catalina...don't have much more to say…read morethan that

Tucked away in a quiet plaza behind the Lonja is this little gem of a cafe. Actually, it is less a…read morecafe than a hot chocolate, hortchata, and buñuelos establishment. Buñuelos are super delicious deep-fried lumps of soft dough rolled in sugar that are traditionally available only during Fallas time in March. Hortchateria El Collado is one of a handful of places in Valencia where you can get them year-round. They deep-fry them in a big vat right out in front of the cafe, and they do an amazingly good job of it too. I also quite liked their thick hot chocolate. I think it is better than the hot chocolate they serve at those tourist favorites El Siglo and Hortchateria Santa Catalina near Plaza de la Reina; the prices are better too. Don't expect anything fancy though; the decor is pretty basic and functional.

The best bakery we have visited in any town in Europe (and that includes the very famous Du Pain et…read moredes Idées in Paris). We were staying around the corner and I was looking for a place for the husb to grab his morning coffee. The coffee was ok (we are Australian; we ain't called coffee snobs for nothing!) however the pastries and the bread were sublime. Three mini chocolate croissants (filled with mountains of oozing Nutella - sold), two normal croissants (fresh out of the oven, not too sweet) and a coffee for €4.20. You cannot get better than that. It was so good we got the same order again to go, plus some bread rolls to have lunch with later on our road trip. I would go back to Valencia just to eat those sweet, sweet mini croissants. I wonder if they will post me some.
