You see this delicious Spanish treat everywhere in Barcelona. In Spain, it is often eaten for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, also known as 'merienda.' Preferably, these dough strips are dipped in a cup of thick chocolate sauce, not very healthy but absolutely delicious!

No one knows exactly where churros come from; there are various stories. According to some, they were first eaten in Catalonia, while others claim that the Moors brought them to the Iberian Peninsula. It is also said that Spanish priests were the first to make them. However, the most commonly heard story is that shepherds in the field ate them because they were easy to prepare. Whatever the story may be, they are extremely popular, and not only in Spain. So be sure to enjoy a serving, with melted chocolate or sugared.
