Through out high school my Spanish teacher told us stories about churros and chocolate from Spain…read more So when I finally had the chance to visit Spain, churros and chocolate was on my to do list. My research led me to Valor. It was easy to find, great location for people watching. We sat outside, service was quick. Our dish of warm churros was huge. Our cups of hot chocolate was so thick and rich I couldn't finish mine. I'm a milk chocolate fan, so I didn't enjoy it as much as my husband did, the churros helped sweeten up the chocolate for me though. The menu is packed with sweet indulgences, so if dark chocolate isn't your thing, your sure to find lots of other choices. We were leaving Spain that day on our cruise ship so we went back before getting on the boat. We got a chocolate milkshake this time, it was more like thick chocolate milk, and it was so good. We also got a box of chocolate truffles to take home with us. We're hoping Valor will make it to America, but in the meantime there's always the online store to tide us over. Thanks Mrs. Marchetti for teaching me about churros and chocolate.

Oh man, I LOVE this place!…read more Every time I visit family, I spend my lazy afternoons here. The baristas here are funny and quirky, the coffees are (not only real, non-watery-sugary-gross-American stuff) delicious, and the pastries and ice cream cups aren't too shabby either. I introduced my friend to this place, and we went on almost a daily basis. It's a great place to relax and chat. The only con is, if you sit outside, they charge you 0.15 euros per item you consume. But I don't care because I love this place, and I like to sit inside with the funny waiters anyway!

AVOID this rip-off place for food. After spending a wonderful day in the beautiful city of…read moreCartagena with my family (husband, parents and 5 year old son) we decided to look around for a nice little restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately we were a little early (18h) and were about to head home when my Dad spotted Il Café di Roma. The waiter Hicham seeing $ signs and easy targets dragged us in. Warning bells should have gone off at that stage however we were hungry and he said they did paella. We asked the price and he told us €13 per plate which we thought was pricey but decided to go with the Marisco, the Valenciana and the Mixta. All 3 paellas were bland and tasteless and the portion size small. We also ordered 2 pizza slices (we were 5 people) and were charged €8 a slice! The pizza slices were good but no way were they worth €8. But what I feel most angry about was that I asked for a side salad - I never thought to ask the price of the salad - big mistake - he charged €9 for a couple of lettuce leaves, some tomato pieces and a couple of olives - this is what I found the most offensive. Another thing is that there were no prices marked on the menu for the food, probably so that they can raise the price depending on the diner and rip off tourists. As regular visitors to Spain and Cartagena we have never been ripped off so we were shocked at this experience. We also ordered a bottle of wine and 2 desserts. The whole bill came to €92.15. To make matters worse my son got sick on the way home and I attribute this to the dessert he ate which was probably lying around for days. Please do not make the same mistake we did - AVOID EVITAR. I regret that I didn't complain there on the spot in the restaurant however I was with my family and didn't want to upset them.

I love getting fancy brunch here on the weekends (think mimosas, French toast or eggs Benedict, fruit bowls, bagels). It's also a great place to come with a friend, have a brownie or a slice of cake (red velevet) and jut enjoy life. I have nothing but good things to say about this place and if you're in Murcia it's a must. It's a fun mix of Spain and the US in my opinion. Also the servers do speak English although I always prefer to use Spanish. If you're in Spain and want a yummy dessert or breakfast come here!

They offer a delicious varieties of cake: guinness cake (yes, made with actual guinness), cheesecake, chocolate etc. My favorite are their flavorful infusiones ( tea, but not - because in Spanish tea is exclusively make with tea leaves and infusiones are exclusively any non-tea leaf steeped in water). I like thier regular menu,which is sweet and cozy. So, I especially enjoy their summer menu. It is fun and refreshing. If you're like me and you even like ice in your O.J.
