The iconic Churrerías of Málaga

Whether it's cold and raining, or you need rejuvenating after a long night at the Feria, the perfect solution is a steaming hot cup of chocolate and a ration of freshly cooked churros.

Churros is a type of batter made to a closely guarded recipe, cooked in hot oil and is complemented by hot sweet chocolate. Feelings of chill and fatigue will evaporate as the combination warms and revitalises the body.

The custom of 'Churros con Chocolate' is an unashamedly luxurious way to start your day and will keep you full of energy until lunch time. 

If you are in Málaga and want to sample this morning delight, here are some of the best places to find Churros. 

Casa Aranda

Casa Aranda, Malaga - Costa del Sol

Casa Aranda is one of the most famous and most visited of Malaga's Churrerías. This may be due to its great location, but I'd say it's because of Casa Aranda's 75 years of history that makes it one of the most popular in Málaga.

On this street pass crowds of curious travellers from all over the world, with the clear intention to try these delicacies making this narrow street a truly unique and a must see site.

Churrería Migui 

Churros Migui, Malaga - Costa del Sol

Churrería Migui is located in the east of Málaga, specifically in the neighbourhood of El Palo. Many a Malagueño has been among its four walls, either for a quick breakfast or possibly after the long night of New Year's Eve.

Curiously, this Churrería was formerly a dairy and was acquired in 1956 by the Rodriguez family. Miguel Rodriguez's son continued the family tradition. Miguel is responsible for making the Churros with a very attentive team of his wife and daughter, Elena and Inma.

They take a special interest in the use of good, clean oils and making your chocolate 'Santa Maria', a Málaga brand of chocolate.

Cafeteria Oña

Cafetria Oña, Malaga - Costa del Sol

Cafeteria Oña has for over 40 years been supplying fortifying breakfasts to the crowds of people who fill their local each morning. The Café, found in the area of the civil hospital, offers a wide range of products, but the highlight is its traditional Churros with chocolate, which have been produced since 1969 .

"The secret is simple," new oil daily, quality flour and lovingly prepared, as they say in Café Oña, if all the churros that they have ever made were put together, it would surely outweigh Mount Everest, so if you're in the area, do not hesitate to visit them.
