Chocolate Caliente
My favourite beverage in Spain was Chocolate Caliente [pronounced Cho-co-la-tay Kah-li-arn-tay] aka Hot Chocolate in English. I found this deliciously sinful version at a cafe just outside the hostal I was staying at in Torremolinos. That's probably the only good thing there! Like molten lava, this one was so thick and viscous that the waitress took so long to pour all of it. Haha. This one was freshly made from one of those espresso machines. The Chocolate Caliente from ready-made packets served by some cafes pale in comparison to the freshly brewed ones. Chocolate Caliente is usually taken at breakfast and is best eaten with freshly fried churros, the Spanish version of youtiao. It's pure comfort food!

It's like a jillion calories! =P
