Add me to the very long list of devotees of Xurreria. We stopped by after a light lunch and devoured a serving of churros fresh from the fryer and lightly dusted with sugar, dipping them into the warm, creamy cup of chocolate served with the dipping churros. I have eaten this treat at several other venues in Barcelona over the past year, but now after enjoying them at Xurreria, I will never get these anywhere else!
