At last!
Finally after three years of one thing after another stopping me from having churros and chocolate at Dulcinea (Carrer de Petritxol 2) this year was the year. Every time we went there was always a reason why I couldn't have churros and chocolate:
- the churro machine was broken:
- they were working on summer hours and we were too early or too late;
- we got there on time but they had run out of churros; or
- we got there on time, they had churros but we were on our way to have a seven course meal with family and my parents refused to allow me to have churros and chocolate before dinner.
You can eat 3000 calories of chocolate and churros and still be thin.
Dulcinea is famous in Barcelona for its churros and chocolate which consists of a large cup of melted chocolate (thicker than hot chocolate but thinner than just melted chocolate), a plate of churros (deep-fried dough) and a plate of freshly whipped cream. It was amazingly delicious: not too sweet, not greasy, just perfect.
A window to a garden of earthly delights
Dulcinea is the only place in Barcelona to get churros and chocolate. And this has been the case since my grand-parents were kids (according to my grand-parents). This is definitely a case where being persistent and struggling to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles is worth it.
