Churros

Churros are Spain's iconic fried dough pastry, piped through a star-shaped nozzle and deep-fried until golden and crispy, then dusted with sugar and served alongside thick hot chocolate for dipping. The tradition dates back centuries and remains a beloved breakfast or late-night snack. The most famous are the thick loop-shaped churros at San Gines chocolateria in Madrid, open since 1894.
