Entrance:

A once popular café to go to before a show at the Liceu theater across the street. I think it’s pretty touristy now but it still has some pretty cute original decor inside.

Chocolate and churros, and a plate of calamari.

This is one of the first times I got chocolate con churros and the churros are nice and crispy. They arent covered in sugar and cinammon like the mexican ones I used to only know, but go really well with the super thick chocolate.

Close-up of the hot chocolate:

I always thought it was a bit weird when I learned in Spanish class that the Spanish dip churros in hot chocolate for breakfast. I imagined big sticks of cinnamon and sugared churros dipped into watery hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is more like a pudding because it’s so thick! mmmm everyone scrapes the lasts bits of chocolate from the cup with their spoons.

2 chocolate con churros, tortilla Española (potato omelette) with some bread, calamari, and a plate of random seafood bits.
Café con leche


Patatas bravas.

The sauce is pretty much just ketchup instead of the usual tomato sauce mayo combo. I finally wrote down some prices!
Chocolate and churros again.

Fresh hot chewy crispy rings of sweet dough made for dipping into starchy thick hot chocolate.

Receipt:
2 choc 1.80×2
2 churros 1.30×2
total= €6.20 for 2 chocolate con churros
