Hotel review - Best Western Plus Hotel Expo, Villafranca di Verona

Be careful what type of room you buy and what you receive.
When we checked in we received a room that wasn´t what we paid for. We had to come back and ask again and then we received our room.

They didn´t even apologize. Maybe this is something they practice often.

Free parking places and free internet . Disappointing breakfast.


You can see the difference between the rooms, right?

Menorca seemed a really beautiful island (as opposed to Mallorca).

Houses all white, nice beaches and good ensaimadas.

While here, Binibequer Vell is a must see.

  • 50 grams sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 10 grams baking powder

Beat the eggs with the sugar for 1 minute.

Now, with this hot spoon take little balls of dough and add it into the hot sunflower oil. The heated spoon will help you make this balls because otherwise the dough will stick on it.

Once done, take the donuts out on paper napkins to absorb the extra oil and spread above some powdered sugar.


They are great even the next day.
Enjoy!
