Chocolate con churros are one of Spain´s greatest sweet treats. To be honest, I wasn´t a big fan at first. But now, I love them! They can be enjoyed any time of day but they are most popular at breakfast or a late night snack after a long night out. Churros are made with a simple dough that is shaped into ridged sticks - perfect for dunking - and fried. In Mexico, they are dusted with cinnamon and sugar. In Madrid, there is no need for the extra sweetness because they are accompanied by a very, very thick hot chocolate.
The most famous place in Madrid for chocolate con churros is Chocolateria San Gines. It is a small cafe nestled in a tiny side street off the beaten path toward Puerta de Sol. While the cafe is filled with locals and tourists, it has an outstanding ambiance and great service. It is truly an authentic Spanish experience.
