About this spot
Xurreria Les Palmeres specializes exclusively in the traditional Catalan treat known as xurros, which are thick, fried dough sticks dusted with cinnamon sugar and often served with a scoop of sweetened quark. Unlike standard churros, these local favorites have a distinct texture that pairs perfectly with their house-made chocolate dipping sauce or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. The cozy interior in La Barceloneta offers an authentic taste of Barcelona's street food culture without the tourist trap atmosphere.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order xurros while they are piping hot to enjoy the contrast between the crispy exterior and soft, chewy center.
- Ask for extra cinnamon sugar if you prefer a stronger spice kick on your fried dough sticks.
- Bring cash as this small family-run spot often does not accept credit cards.
