One of my sister Alison's favourite things about her first trip to Barcelona (and Spain for that matter) was churros! Churros are a fried dough snack that originated in Spain, and are popular for breakfast or a snack throughout the day.
A churro is a high fat treat. The dough is squeezed out through a machine called a 'churrera', and this creates long, ridged bits of dough. They are then fried in oil until they are crunchy on the outside and a little doughy still in the middle.
The best way to eat them is to dip them in hot chocolate - how evil is that!!
We came across a fabulous old churrerias - a shop specialising in them - and couldn't resist an afternoon snack : )
