New generation Churreria, the traditional castizo renewed.
It is one of the best churrerias of Madrid.
Churros are a product of Arab influence: we serve to tell the foundation of Madrid by the Arabs: Madrid was founded as an Andalusian fortress, known as Mayrit, on the banks of the Manzanares River by Emir Muhammad I around the year 865.
And its evolution and consecration as a capital through the monarchy and its influence: products like chocolate, a colonial product par excellence, and a symbol of class until the 19th century when it became popular
Owned by a famous family loved by locals, who were in the past “The TV Clowns”.
