Choclateria San Gines


Some many spots to blog about, Madrid is a vibrant city with wonderful day and night life, great restaurants and tapas spots. One famous gem is this 100 year old restaurant located between near Puerta Del Sol on a quaint street near a streetside bookstore looking straight out of Harry Potter. Churros and hot chocolate are a Madrid tradition and this spot serves them made to order. In this charming old-school European cafe you can watch them drizzle the batter swish and remove and cut the churros. The hot chocolate is like molten lava and absolutely killer. Dunk your churros into the chocolate and go straight to heaven. Sitting or standing at the counter, for an afternoon snack this is as close to feeling like a true Madrileno.
