Orxateria Daniel

This guide to Orxateria Daniel in Valencia follows Daniel Tortajada, once caretaker of a local social club, who started selling the horchata his family had only ever made for holidays back in nineteen forty-nine. Within a decade he traded his keys for an apron and opened his first shop on Calle Milagros. Unsatisfied that horchata was drunk with plain bread, he went looking for a baker who could shape something better suited to dunking. The guide also traces how the street outside became the Avenida de la Horchata, once lined with rival shops.
