  1. My aunt's house- lol- on the explanada.  

    She makes it herself from chufas (tiger nuts).

    Since that's not an option for everyone, though, there are several other places.

    I had some horchata at the place on the explanada near the relatively new parking structure, and it was pretty good.

    I think some places also serve horchata from almonds, but it is less typical.  I've always been served the one made from chufas.  

    It's probably more likely to get traditionally made horchata at an ice cream parlor, where it is also usually a bit more expensive.  At a bar, you will likely be served bottled horcata like Chufi or similar horchatas.

    My favorite is when it is served "granizado"- like a slush or when it is mixed with "granizado de limón"- lemon slushy.

    The mix is also very typical in the region.

    Hope that helps somewhat.


  2. Any heladeria (ice cream parlour) will serve you Horchata, preferably with plenty of ice, the best refreshing drink around in the summer, but be careful it is fattening. Enjoy
