Where to buy the best pumpkin fritters

Buñuelos are that sweet, crunchy bite that marks the arrival of the Fallas. There is no festival without their characteristic aroma of fried dough, nor hot chocolate that doesn't taste better when accompanied by some freshly made buñuelos—and even better if they are artisanal and made with pumpkin!

Where to have the best artisanal pumpkin buñuelos in Valencia?

In Ciutat Vella

If you are looking for a classic in the historic center, both Bertal (Plaza de la Reina, 12) and Chocolatería Valor (Plaza de la Reina, 20) are great options to combine buñuelos with a good hot chocolate.
Heladería-Chocolatería Dr. Collado (Ercilla, 13) is also a safe bet. Here, thick chocolate and crunchy buñuelos have been the stars since 1892. During Fallas, a very long queue forms at its door, but it is well worth the wait!
Els Tonets, in the heart of El Carmen (Sant Dionís, 1), is a mandatory stop for those seeking authentic flavor in the historic center, standing out for its freshly made buñuelos.
Speaking of tradition, we cannot forget Horchatería Daniel, with establishments in the Mercado de Colón and Calle del Mar; Horchatería Fabián (Moratín, 1); and Horchatería Santa Catalina (Plaza Santa Catalina, 6).

But the options go much further, and the best part is that they are spread across all the city's districts:
