Where is the best place for purchasing Valor Chocolates? I know Valor has retail shops in Madrid. Last time, I bought them at the Corte Ingles. Is that my best option or are there better (cheaper) places? Also, is there another kind of chocolate that anyone would recommend?

Gracias!

I know this may sound a bit crazy , but when I was shopping for an ( expensive ) SLR digital camera there wasn´t much difference in price between the huge El Corte Ingles and independent stores . I bought the camera ( €650 ) at the independent store because I like to invest in those types of places rather than huge multinationals .
However , El Corte Ingles is convenient .. I think that would be your best bet .

Maybe surprisingly, maybe not, one can buy Valor chocolate in most all supermarkets (I mean real supermarkets, not the convenience stores). I know at my local Max Coop they carry Valor chocolate. Downtown I can't think of anyplace other than El Corte Inglés supermarket and the Valor shop/café itself on the corner of Calle Postigo de San Martín and Calle de las Navas de Tolosa.

I love the Valor cafe that MM suggested! It is so quaint, kind of reminds me of the bell epoque period maybe? Go there and enjoy a cafe con leche with your chocolates.

yes El Corte Ingles has about everything, but for the chocolates go to the Cafe as already advised, its the best experience.

Well, you can buy Valor chocolate in Eroski or Carrrefour supermarkets (and in a lot of places). You don't need to go to an special place to find it.

Warning!! AhorraMás supermarkets don't buy it...(Sadly is the place where I use to buy in)

Why do you not recommend AhorraMas? Does it have something to do with the store or the chocolate?

I have found Valor chocolates at TJ Maxx, if anyone needs a 'fix'. Large bars with nuts. Certainly, does not have the Valor cafe style, but it is their chocolate!

Valor should be easy to find in the USA, it is all over Florida for sure .My family buys it at Delicias de España, go to store and Spanish food for them

I came up with this blog on chocolates in Madrid, very informative but in Spanish.
