I fancied trying a horchata drink after dinner on my last night in the city and I wasn't disappointed! I'd never had one before and know it's quite popular here as it's from the south-western region of Valencia.

Then when we told her that she could have wait for us to finish she complained about us being rude and noisy… yes sorry we had 2 kids and a baby but which totally behaved well (compared to other day believe me it was the case). I wanted to complain to the manager but others told me to dont waist time…
