La Casa de los Dulces, Valencia
Keeping dentistas in business since 1953.

There’s so much sugar, the candies are climbing up the walls.

Sweet. Love. Free taste. (Yes, really.)

Childhood memories are made of these: gummy orange-shaped jelly candies, each ‘slice’ generously sprinkled with … sugar!

Multi-colored lollipops wider than a child’s head.

The real fountain of youth.

Oh my goodness grapejuice! I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I come to this place. I want everything!
And I remember the “Orange” candies. I would always buy one whenever I hop on a bus. dati, nung may paradahan pa sa Lawton ng bus. hehehe
The best thing about that store? You can really sample everything before you buy. Sugar high!
Oh my gosh! pwedeng di na ako bumili. haha….siguro pwede na akong sumawa kaka sample.
OMG – It is CANDYLAND – ha! Have a Great Day:)
The jars and jars of candies were kind of overwhelming, in a good way.
Thanks, Renee.
Minimalist post, grand execution. Love the captions, tita buds.
An easy hang out spot for me.
Thanks, Rommel!
Oh Dog! If only they had cookies…..
They have sweet cakes.
Sweet!
Let’s go!
Mmm … tasty, tasty toothache …
Hahaha! Welcome to a world of cavities!
Gorgeous photos are eye candy, too! “Fountain of Youth.” I love that, Tita! When I wander into a penny candy store, suddenly I’m a barefooted kid collecting pop bottles in a little red wagon to cash in for the two cent deposit, which we spent on—-CANDY! Mary Janes, Squirrels, Good ‘n’ Plenties, Snaps, Red Hot Dollars, Boston Baked Beans, Lik-a-Maid, licorice whips, Bazooka bubblegum, salted pumpkin seeds…
Bazooka Joe! I remember that.
Most of the customers inside the store were elderly people. Maybe they were stocking up on ‘bribe’ candies for their grandchildren, but then they all seemed to have a grand time sampling the different flavors, heh.
Yummy, oooh, which to try first… Do you like Chupa Chups? my girls love them. I found a whole lot in Spain, Athens and even Italy. They were so happy. Love the title Tita, brilliant.
Heh, thanks!
Chupa Chups became popular here long after my sweet tooth had gone on semi-retirement, so I kind of missed that.
They are so hard to get in the US. Imagine that? We go to the Spanish store to get them sometimes… My other favorite Spanish thing is a pair of espadrilles I got in Madrid. No one makes it like them. I really want to take my girls to Barcelona. I don’t know if you get Bravo there but they have just started this show called Around the World in 80 Plates… I hope you can catch it. They go to Barcelone nxt wk and Florence, as well as Asia after that. It is so much fun.
We get some Bravo shows here but not that one. Too bad because I’d like to see how they’ll do Asia. I hope they get to here.
Let me see, are those espadrilles colorful in a cheery kind of way? I saw some in Madrid & thought of buying a pair but as it was rainy some days, I went for a pair of brown boots instead. Regretfully. No one wears leather boots here, haha. The memory of those espadrilles mock me.
woohoooo Candyland! Looks yummy! *drool*
Lahat talaga candies, Riz, pati sa walls.
Oh my! A little piece of heaven on earth
It’s either the best place or the worst place on earth for dentists.
Tita have not seen a place like that in years! CH and I were just talking about the round candies on a strip of paper and the sweet liquid in the wax bottles.
We don’t have such all-candy stores here in the Philippines (except small kiosks inside malls) so I was like a small child in there, haha.
Droolworthy pictures Tita! I would have had to be dragged out of this place!
Now you really need to go to Valencia, Madhu.
Absolutely
Omg, I am drooling…. what a stock of candies…
The entire store was like a long corridor walled in by jars and bins of colorful candies, Jas, it was unbelievable.
fabulous photos, tita buds! love love love!
Thanks! It’s the kind of place where one can get snap-happy.
LANGIT!!!!!
On a sugar high.
My teeth hurt just looking at the photos….but…..did they have chocolate?
Haha. No, I don’t think they have chocolate or I just didn’t see any. It was all candy, candy, candy in there.
Kids NOT Allowed!! haha =o)
Come to think of it, there were more elderly people than kids inside that store.
Do you know if they take guests as in a hotel? Because this is where I want to stay when I visit Valencia!
Hmm, there’s a small park right across the street from that. How about setting up camp there? ‘Occupy La Casa de los Dulces’?
lol! That sounds good! We can start a trend on Twitter haha
You have just shown me what heaven looks like. Thank you, Tita Buds.
Hahaha, you’re welcome, Judy.
Im not much of a candy person but I enjoyed this picture post
Loved all the colors and the mood of the post.
