Its traditional recipe is the perfect option for any time of the day, as it is open all day long.

This chocolate shop on Calle Mayor, a 9-minute walk from our apartments, is a paradise for those with a sweet tooth. It offers a variety of options ranging from the classics to innovative proposals such as churros filled with cream, dulce de leche (caramelised milk) or hazelnut cream.
