Ago 17 2010 Churros Spanish flavor in the heart of Cuban Miami

And it is that I was in one of those, of homesickness country and memories of my winters in Pamplona, chatting with my friend Julio Blanco, a large Cuban, frank, sympathetic, full of stories and art, because my colleague, besides being a good conversationalist is a painter of some renown (julioblancoart.com), sculptor, musician, creative advertising and lots of things.
Well, that, I remembered him, in the days of cold and rain, as a child, always fell a few churros with chocolate thick in the Plaza del Castillo. I did not finish to say when I said: “Ah, but here too there is a place where you can buy churros ,I see you now "
Said and done, in 15 minutes we were at King's Ice Cream Street heart 8, Little Habana, Cuba cigar daddy, where they play dominoes in the street while talking about politics and where you can have real coffee and eat for less 10 all food U.S. dollars Latino.
The truth is that there never would have come on their own initiative. Everything you see I speak of a place about to close. Signs of the Malecon in Havana and La Habana Vieja over 40 years of life, bleached by the sun, stools with leather seats worn, soils over 6 decades and a machine for making churros, year 1968, Barcelona bought by the father of the owner of the premises.
A machine, since ,been doing as Spanish recipe churros, that eating, in the words of owner, that the Spanish know a lot of good. A machine that ever since they bought had broken down and expected to last for a few more years yet, at least until the owner conveys the business, because machines like these are no longer done and going to Spain on the other I was too expensive.
The truth, I could not believe, real churros, a dozen to two dollars, so since I was released, I also asked for a thick chocolate, but the owner told me: "That's what we also have, but I have to wait for the winter because in August 34 degrees, and that people do not feel like a lot "
So nothing, wait to December ,one of those cold days to go to Miami for my churros with chocolate and remember looking at a sea, away from home, can once again feel a child again.
Thanks in July.
