Chocolatería Valor (Madrid, SPAIN) ★★☆☆☆

I couldn't believe our 60 hours in Madrid have breezed by so quickly. All of a sudden, we were already packing up and getting ready for our flight back to Hong Kong. As it's our last night in the Spanish capital, Jelloman and I decided to have a walk near our hotel one last time before calling it the night.



Founded in 1881, Chocolatería Valor (Spanish for "Value") is one of the largest chocolate producers in Spain with its headquarters in Alicante. Apart from its retail side of the business (their chocolate bars could be found in almost every supermarkets in Spain), they also have a number of chocolate cafés in different parts of the country including five in Madrid. This is going to be our last stop in Madrid before taking off early tomorrow.



We've already visited a couple of century-old establishments in Madrid (first Chocolatería San Ginés, and then Restaurante Botín). This café is probably not as old but should be pretty close.



They reserved a corner of the café for their bread and butter, which are their chocolate. There were different types of them including chocolate bon bons and truffles.



Wait, is that the kitchen where they make their homemade churros? Can't wait to try those out myself.



But first, an ice-cold chocolate to start things off on this hot winter night. Not bad.



These churros were noticeably darker in color comparing to those at Chocolatería San Ginés. They were really crunchy and I thought at times too hard for my teeth to handle.
