Where it comes from
Almería city · Huércal de Almería · Campohermoso (Níjar)
Flour, water and salt, fried in strips and dipped in thick drinking chocolate: nothing more is needed to open the list of flavours of the Almería Fair. Churros are a sweet common to all of Spain that here has its fixed hour: fair and Sunday mornings, when the queue at the churrería is part of the plan.
One churrería with history is the Kiosco Churrería Luis Marín. Born in 1964 as a travelling fair stall, it settled next to the old La Gloria petrol station and moved to the Rambla in 2000; today the third generation, Alejandro and Luis Marín, runs it with some ten employees. Their churros are made without yeast, with bicarbonate, and the chocolate had to be reformulated when the factory that supplied it closed: pure trade, the kind that gets inherited.
Outside the capital, the Churrería El Palomar in Huércal de Almería is another known address, and Campohermoso, in Níjar, gets named too. The gesture never changes: hot churro, thick chocolate, and dip without ceremony.
