Salty-Sweet Churros Done Right in Barcelona’s Old Town

Xurreria is a no-fuss churros spot located in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona. The twist? Their classic churros lean a little salty—so you get all the crunch without that sugar overload—then you dunk them into thick, warming hot chocolate and suddenly winter (or any day) makes sense.

This is a tiny take-away shop on Carrer dels Banys Nous, where the action is at the counter: fresh batches, quick service, and staff who clearly care about getting your order perfect. Go for the original churros with chocolate, and if you’re not into super sweet snacks, try the savory churros options that even sweet-avoiders end up loving. Expect a short line at busy times, but it moves fast—around 3 minutes is common.

For value, it’s hard to beat: you can snack well for about €5, which feels refreshingly honest compared to the overpriced touristy desserts nearby. This is Barcelona street food the way it should be—simple, hot, and straight to the point.

Insider tip: There’s no seating, so grab your churros, step outside, and eat them immediately while they’re still crisp—order the hot chocolate even on a mild day.
