Churros con Chocolate at San Ginés

Is Churros con Chocolate at San Ginés worth it for photographers?

SkipFor photos

Churros con Chocolate at San Ginés is the wrong stop for beauty & photography.

A genuine Madrid institution: thick drinking chocolate and fresh churros in a tiled century-old café, beloved as both a 3am post-party ritual and a tourist tick-box. The catch is the queue can snake out the door, the marble tables are cramped, and locals will tell you a dozen neighbourhood spots are just as good without the line.
