Hot chocolate and churros<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the things we most like doing here at home is going out for churros<\/em> and hot chocolate. Now they\u2019ve become very famous and they\u2019ve travelled all the way to Asia, to countries like China, where they eat them in their own way. We, like good Madrid girls, go to Chocolater\u00eda San Gin\u00e9s<\/a>, in Pasadizo San Gin\u00e9s, which is brilliant because it\u2019s a pedestrian-only street. This means that going with children and walking around is actually a very pleasant experience.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

San Gin\u00e9s is a chocolate shop that\u2019s been open since 1894. They\u2019re open all day and all night. It\u2019s in the perfect location, in a narrow street taking you from Calle Mayor to Calle Arenal, from where you can also get to the church of San Gin\u00e9s de Arl\u00e9s, which has a treasure in the shape of a crocodile, but I\u2019ll tell you about that another day. As the weather in Madrid is so nice we decided to eat our churros<\/em> outside on the terrace! It was a real treat to be able to sit in the open air and let the kids run around free.<\/p>\n

Now for a few tips, so it looks as though you\u2019ve been going to Chocolater\u00eda San Gin\u00e9s all your life. You should go to the bar to order and pay for your food and drinks. They\u2019ll give you two tickets, one for you and the other for the waiter who\u2019ll be serving you. You can stay inside, in the main area at street level or the pretty tertulias<\/em> room, or you can do what we did and sit outside in the street. One portion of churros<\/em> just isn’t enough; the kids will scoff the lot! Finally, access to the loos is a bit steep for small children so it\u2019s advisable for an adult to go with them.<\/p>\n

Churros<\/em> and chocolate for five hungry fiends + one Cola Cao: \u20ac15.65.
\nAn afternoon well spent… priceless.<\/p>\n

Have a happy afternoon of churros<\/em> and chocolate everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
