Spent Friday afternoon wandering the streets around Salamanca with my friend, Emma. We met in the plaza, checked out a couple small bookstores, and enjoyed having a free afternoon. Hungry, we decided to splurge on some mid-afternoon desserts. It was an easy decision: churros. As most Americans know, churros are a traditional Spanish dessert. But these locally, handmade churros were not like the sugary, doughnut-like desserts you can get from the food court at Costco or at the mall. No; these churros were fresh out of the pan, crispy on the outside, soft and gooey in the middle, and still dripping in the oil they had been cooked in. In addition to the 6 churros we ordered, we were given a big cup of warm, rich chocolate for dipping.
Delicious, they were. Halfway through our feast, a señora stopped by, nodded at us, and commented on how delicious our food looked. So my point is, if you ever go to Spain, be sure to try some churros!
