It usually takes me much longer than everybody else to find out about certain things. For instance, if two people are dating, the news will get to me by the time they already broke up again. So it is probably not surprising, that after 1 year of living in Madrid, I discovered CHURROS only yesterday.
Yes, it's true!
And I'm embarrased.
I mean, I knew what they were - in theory: Some greasy dough sticks that you dunk into chocolate! But after trying them, I know that they are much more than that! Churros are elegant, crunchy, pastries, that are served with a cup of hot chocolate. And I don't mean Nesquik or any of that... I mean dark 100% pure cacao chocolate, melted into a white porcelain cup, ok? It is amazing!
But that's still not what makes the whole Churro-experience. What you need in addition (and what is usually always included) is a small table with 2 or 3 loved ones next to you, a tiny little street in the center of Madrid, people watching deluxe, and the sounds of a street musician's guitar. Voilà!
Now I understand why Spanish women don't get fat: Churros don't go to the hips, they go right to your corazon. <3
