There are few things more Spanish than delicious churros with chocolate. This product is one of our star breakfasts and snacks. It is especially during the autumn and winter when consumption increases.

Today we want to tell you about some of the best places to eat churros in Malaga, but first we want to tell you about the differences between churros, lazos and porras.

The churro is thin and small and in some churrerías it is indistinguishable from the lazo. The porra, on the other hand, is longer and wider and is always straight. On the other hand, the tejeringo is also loop-shaped and thin.

Did you know that the name was originally jeringo? But the “te” was added by using the expression “¿tienes jeringos? te jeringos? That’s how it finally got the name “tejeringo”. Now that you know the types of churros you can eat in Malaga, here are some of the best churrerías in the city.
