On the recommendation of a friend I had churros for breakfast while in A Coruña. Churros are sticks of donut dough that are fried in a special machine, covered in sugar and then dipped in either a thick chocolate sauce or café con leche. Churrería are only open in the morning and sell only churros and coffee. They also tend to have a very distinctive interior with lots of zinc panelling. There is a chain called ‘Bonilla a la Vista’ in A Coruña and the Churrería I found was on Calle Galera, it had a beautifully traditional interior with marquetry panels, low circular zinc tables and dark wooden chairs. Romantically I imagined all Churrería to be like this but looking at the ‘Bonilla a la Vista’ website the other bars in the chain have not been designed with such respect for the original features!
