Chocolateria San Gines

Eating Churros in Madrid is good but eating them in the famous Chocolatería San Ginés is much better. Located in the small passage of San Ginés, a few meters from Puerta del Sol, this chocolate factory is the most famous in the capital.

This establishment is easily recognizable by its traditional white marble tables and its counter covered with earthenware tiles. Founded in 1894, the San Ginés chocolate factory is open 24 hours every day. Tourists and locals alike come here to taste their mouth-watering coffee, delicious pastries, and, of course, the famous churros con chocolate.

You can enjoy these products inside the establishment or on the terrace, with an unforgettable view of Puerto Del Sol.

Churreria 1883

This has been a vital institution in Madrid since 1883. In its early days, the establishment served the less well-off populations of Madrid with various sweets including the famous churros. With the outbreak of the civil war, this was stopped, and the Churreria 1883 began to supply the restaurants and bars of the city until its reopening to the public in the 2010s. It’s difficult to do better than tradition, but you can check by tasting their churros.
