Dining in Valencia

My Experience
During my trip to Valencia, Spain, I visited a restaurant that made my adventure more memorable than usual. Every time I passed that narrow street and saw rose petals on the floor, I wondered “what’s beyond there.” So I could not stand the temptation and decided to go down the dark alley. That’s when I discovered La Lola.
La Lola is a flamenco restaurant with retro decor. They serve delicious Spanish food cooked to perfection. The kindness of those working in the restaurant made my day. For the first time in my life I tasted a mistela Valenciana. The server said “you will not leave Valencia without first tasting our mistela.” They brought a very old bottle of mistela from their reserve and gave me 2 glasses of this excellent wine. DELICIOUS!
Mistela is a type of sweet wine that is made by mixing alcohol with non-fermented grape ingredients. The more alcohol, the more it stops the fermentation process and only a small portion of the grape sugars are converted to alcohol.
If you plan to visit Valencia, do not forget to visit La Lola. They are located in downtown Valencia. For your reference I have posted their website in this article. Enjoy the good life!
