Churros Run

One of the main things I wanted to eat in Barcelona was churros dipped in chocolate. Churros is basically fried dough - kinda like a zeppole. Based on Barcelona Girl's recommendation, we checked out Xurreria for churros and La Granja for chocolate. As usual, she was spot on. The churros was perfect by itself - a weird combination of crisp on the outside, yielding to chewiness and airiness. But, dipped in the chocolate picante it was heaven. Chocolate picante is the way to go as it has the perfect amount of spice to wake up the churros. Spectacular place and La Granja let's you bring the churros over to dip into their chocolate - kinda like a hot chocolate but much thicker and less sweet. Both are very inexpensive as well - about 1 euro for 1 gram

Xurreria - Highly Recommended
