Nowadays the fourth generation of Javier Enrique Arques García follows in his father's footsteps, keeping the same recipes that have passed from generation to generation and trying to improve them and adapt them to the new demands of both the customer and the current health regulations.ProductsAt Helados y Turrones Los Valencianos we aim to satisfy our customers by maintaining our traditional ice creams with the latest novelties on the market and that is why in our ice cream parlours you will find a wide range of: Ice cream creams with our traditional flavours and a complete range of La Jijonenca ice creams that allow us to offer you more than 45 different flavours.
