Those involved in making the record-breaking slab of chocolate are all members of the local charity \u2013 El Dulce Nombre, and all proceedings made from the bar will go the local Alzheimer\u2019s care home as well as a local nursing home.<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s biggest bar of chocolate currently lies along the whole length of Montilla\u2019s Avenida de Boucau, and, being decoratively covered by various types of sweets, including Easter eggs and chocolate statues, El Dulce Nombre\u2019s chocolate bar really is a sight for sore eyes.<\/p>\n<p>It does seem \u2018apt\u2019 that the world\u2019s biggest chocolate bar\u00a0has been created in the province of Cordoba, a region world-renowned for its culinary delights. The village of Montilla itself is famous for its production of top-quality wine, with row upon row of grape vines interspersing the gently rolling landscapes that dominate this exceptionally picturesque region of southern Spain.<\/p>\n<p>As well as taking in the stunning views, visitors to Montilla can muse by the impressive architectural and historical sites the town has impressively preserved, including palaces, churches and convents, many of which date back to Roman times.<\/p>\n<p>In between visiting sites of historical importance, walking in such splendid countryside, and witnessing some of the best wine on Spain being produced, be sure to take a trip to Avenida de Boucau in Montilla, to witness first-hand the world\u2019s biggest chocolate bar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u2018world\u2019s biggest chocolate bar\u2019 \u2013 Yet another reason to visit Cordoba!
