Only few products originally come from specific areas.

That’s the case for one of the most curious drinks you could find in Spain: Horchata.

This drink comes from the small town of Alboraya, Valencia. Here, during the Moorish kingdom, the Arabs brought the “chufa”, a plant that is also known in English as “tiger-nut”.

You might think that chufa is some kind of peanut… well, you’ll be surprised when you’ll find out that it is actually a tuber!

A delicious tuber whose milk, mixed with sugar and water, creates an energy drink that anyone loves all along the Spanish Mediterranean coast!

If you visit Catalonia or Valencia you can’t just miss it; it’ll also help you surviving the hot summer as it’s incredibly refreshing.

What are you waiting for? Come to Barcelona and enjoy it with us!

Salud!
