In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, there’s a little place you should definitely check out – Churreria Astrid. They’re famous for their big churros, called “porras.” It’s a straightforward, no-fuss spot where you can enjoy these delicious treats without emptying your wallet.

Churreria Astrid usually has loads of people eating churros as thick as a baby’s arm, dipping the ends into buckets of melted chocolate.

Local Favourite Churreria

The locals in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria love Churreria Astrid. It’s not fancy, but that’s what makes it great. The staff is friendly, and it feels like a place where everyone knows your name. The local love for this place speaks volumes!

Affordable And Tasty Churros

At Churreria Astrid, you don’t have to break the bank for a good meal. “Good service, low prices” sums it up perfectly. You can enjoy authentic Spanish churros without spending too much. The best part? Pairing their thick, creamy hot chocolate with the hearty porras for a unique and delightful taste experience.

I recommend Churreria Astrid.

  • A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
