Valencia - Cafes
The locals are particular about their coffee. For example, they only have café con leche for breakfast, often with a croissant. At midday they tend to go for an espresso, a café solo, or a cortado – espresso with a drop or two of milk.
Café Sant Jaume
One of the city’s large cafés, complete with bar, attracting an artistic and cultural clientele. This is where the Bohemians, the gays, the lesbians, artists, students, and some of the Valencia football club players come. Look at the ceiling: the wooden beams are beautifully carved.
Horchateria de Santa Catalina
Horchata is a Spanish speciality which some people like and others cannot stand. It’s a drink made from the chufas root and sipped through straws from tall glasses. Horchata tastes a little of almonds.
Chocolatería Valor
Founded in 1881, Chocolatería Valor has had a lot of time to perfect their chocolate creations. Try the chocolate fondue, chocolate churros and hot chocolate.
Café de la Seu
Café de la Seu is named after the cathedral next to it. Try the famous Agua de Valencia.
Café Lisboa
At a quiet pedestrian street behind La Lonja lies Café Lisboa. Here you can sit in the sun and enjoy a beer together with good friends. Take the chance to taste the spanish "bocadillos" - sandwiches.
