September is about to get a whole lot sweeter in Pilar de la Horadada.
The town is celebrating “Chocolate Month” in honour of International Chocolate Day on 13 September, and it promises to tempt even those who “don’t really like desserts”.
Throughout the month, local restaurants, bakeries, pastry shops, and ice cream parlours will be showing off their homemade chocolate creations. Expect both classics and clever twists.
One highlight is the colourful “peppers”, red, green, and yellow, that look like vegetables but are actually pure, milk, or white chocolate.

Grandma’s-style cakes, rich chocolate ice creams, and other sweet surprises will also be on the menu.
Restaurante Plaza, Pueblo Latina, is offering La Tarat de la Abuela de toda la vida.
If you fancy a taste (or several), you can find all the details about participating businesses and their chocolatey specials on the Pilar website, in the tourist office in Plaza Campoamor by phone (+34) 966 767 068 or via WhatsApp (+34) 675 545 781.
