A lovely morning breakfast consists of freshly fried churros (a tube-like deep fried pastry) with a thick and rich hot chocolate. It is customary to dip the churros in the chocolate. You may need to inquire before assuming that a cafe serves this delicious treat (and some will only serve it in the morning) but if you can find it I'm sure that you'll find yourself in a chocolate heaven. ;-)PS.

Tapas may be fish, pork, cheese, olives, sausage, or seafood.

Usually served by the liter and meant for more than one.
