You\u2019d think that hot chocolates would be awful in a country that enjoys a climate that generally encourages the drinking of ice cold beer<\/span> whilst scantily clad, however, you\u2019d be wrong. Spanish hot chocolate is served thick and rich and so sweet you can sometimes feel your teeth bend. It\u2019s a meal in itself and as such is considered a breakfast food although you can enjoy it all day and is often served with churros \u2013 think long doughnut fingers dipped in sugar.<\/p>\n

If you really don\u2019t care about cholesterol then hot chocolates served with cream \u2013 known locally as a Suizo \u2013 are the way to go. You can go up a dress size in one sitting if you\u2019re really lucky.<\/p>\n

So, if you want your hot choc fix in Barcelona or are simply a little underweight or just wish to throw caution to the wind, here are the best purveyors of the glorious brown stuff:<\/p>\n

\"Escriba<\/a>

Escriba, Barcelona – home to divine hot chocolates and cakes to cry for.<\/p><\/div>\n

Right on the Rambla<\/a> and serving divine hot chocolate beautifully made with top ingredients and available with chilli powder or without. Cream or without cream. Utterly beautiful and the shop is a photo opportunity in itself.<\/p>\n

Petrixol<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Old City

It\u2019s difficult to say anything negative about Petrixol\u2019s hot chocolates other than they are probably a little bit too divine. Delicious thick liquid chocolate served beneath a large crown of proper cream \u2013 none of your aerosol rubbish here, thank you.<\/p>\n

\"Hot<\/a>

Hot chocolate with cream<\/p><\/div>\n

The hot chocolate is dark and mildly spicy. It\u2019s not vegan<\/a> but it\u2019s low on dairy. \u00a0This is slightly oily and one for the connoisseur who favours an outrageously dark and slightly bitter hot choc with a slightly spicy edge to it.<\/p>\n

Buenas Migas<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Various locations
\n<\/strong>www.buenasmigas.com\/<\/p>\n

Hot chocolates served at this popular chain come in four varieties: normal, double chocolate, Swiss, which includes cream from an aerosol and insanely sweet chocolate sauce or galleta which involves spray cream and fractured biscuit pieces.<\/p>\n

Hot chocolates are best served on chilly terraces during the winter whilst watching the world pass you by or nose buried deep within a book.<\/p>\n
