gift one

wandering the streets of madrid in november,

i discovered a small passageway…

and nestled way back in there is a chocolateria.

but it is no ordinary chocolateria, my friends.

oh no.

this is the world famous — established in 1894 — open until 7 a.m. — no menus needed

kind of place.

and it goes by the lovely roll-off-your-tongue name:

chocolateria san gines.

where warm chocolate and fresh churros await.

the chocolate is a bittersweet brew of thick, dark, dipping heaven.

and the only way to enjoy it is if you happen upon it while you are in madrid.

unless.

i have a box.

that i am gifting as my first giveaway.

oh, do you even know what an exquisite pick-me-up this chocolate is?
