Look for a green sign and '1894' in the narrow lane behind the church. Order and pay at the counter first, then sit with your receipt. Thin unsugared churros, or fat, fluffy porras, go straight into hot chocolate thick enough to hold a spoon upright. The churros are plain, so the chocolate does the sweet work. The shop has spread into several rooms along the lane, so tables turn fast; drink whatever chocolate is left.
