Tuesday’s Mester Spanish school classes given a boost from a chocolate and churro morning! Those lucky enough to have class Tuesday morning were able to enjoy a delicious typical Spanish breakfast – and we were there to take photos!
Salamanca’s Mester students enjoyed a rich breakfast of chocolate and churros in Tuesday’s classes – a great reward for all the hard work they’ve been putting in learning Spanish!
Students enjoy their breakfast!
The typical Spanish breakfast of churros is sure to be missed by students once they return home. A deep fried pastry-based snack, churros are often called the Spanish donut – although their shape is nothing like the donut you’d think of which comes from America – they’re long and thin!
Though there are many variations – served with sugar, filled with chocolate, creme or condensed milk – the most typical are the plain ones, with a sprinkling of sugar, which can be bought in the churrerías, little shops or caravans which dedicate themselves to this popular snack.
Some students might find the hot chocolate different too – Spanish hot chocolate is typically a lot thicker than what’s to be found in the likes of England, the USA and Germany. No less delicious however, it gives a great boost of energy for the students’ Spanish classes during the day!

 Do you allow churros in your class? |
Though perhaps not the healthiest selection of Mediterranean food, it’s an extremely popular and enjoyable tradition which has begun to take off outside of Spain and Latin America too. March 2006 saw the opening of Chocolateria San Churro in Australia, a Spanish chocolate themed franchise with 18 outlets! There’s also the Jack in the Box San-Diego based chain who have added a mini-churro selection to their menu!
Chocolate and Churros in Class!
