Málaga awakens slowly. The sun creeps over the rooftops, the city noise is slow in coming. What about you? You crave grease. In golden brown spirals of dough, just out of oil. Whether you wake up broke after a long night or stroll through the city fresh and fruity: churros belong.
No rankings here, no competition. Just five places where churros are something more than breakfast. Where they are history, smell and habit all in one.

The atmosphere is homey, the coffee good, and everything here is about the taste of yesteryear: artisanally made, with pure passion. "The tastiest churros I've ever eaten," writes a regular customer. And you get that after your first bite.

A little further from the center, but no less beloved for that. Kivi is a neighborhood classic: simple, honest and always busy. The service is friendly, the coffee spicy, and the churros taste the way you want them to taste: fresh, hot and not too greasy.
You sit here among grandpas with newspapers, young families and neighbors who know each other. You feel that, and you taste that.

If churros are sacred, then Casa Aranda is the cathedral. Since 1932, this place has been serving the most iconic combination of hot chocolate and golden brown porras. Not too greasy, not too light, but just right.
On busy days, people line up thick, but it pays off. Inside and out, you sit among the din of families, students, writers and tourists. History drips from the walls, like chocolate from your spoon.

In a quiet neighborhood lies this little paradise for people with gluten intolerance. Everything here is gluten-free, from churros to sweet rolls. But even if you do eat everything, you've come to the right place: crunchy dough, solid chocolate and service that makes you feel welcome.
A warm address where care, taste and friendliness merge.

A popular stop in Puerto de la Torre. The atmosphere here is relaxed, the prices friendly, and the churros? Original, fresh and generously served. The chocolate is thick and creamy as it should be, and the coffee does what it's supposed to do.
Not the most famous place, but one that will stay with you. Perfect for a quiet breakfast with newspaper or company.
