The legendary Churrería "La Mañueta," the Oldest Churrería in Pamplona

After the encierro on July 14, when we watched the Miuras from an apartment above the Ayuntamiento and calle Mercaderes, with members of the Jorajuria Martín family, to avoid the crowds, we left city hall by going down by the Mercado then to the street, s, where the legendary La Mañueta Churrería is located. I had heard about La Mañueta Churrería for years, but had never been there, let alone tried their churros. I have photographed churrerías all over Spain from Málaga to Ronda to Sevilla and in many villages and cities across Spain, but I had never been to La Mañueta and it was high on my churros bucket list.

When we got to calle Mañueta, alas, the lines to get into La Mañueta Churrería, were two blocks long in either direction. I was with Kay, Enrique Jorajuría (son of my late friend José Ramón Jorajuria and his wife Paquita Martín, Juanito Quintana´s niece), his wife Mari Carmen Ugarte and their friend Ceci Young.  I told them to hold our place in line and I marched up to front door and into the churrería, where I told them I was a writer and was working on Volume II of my book Sunset in a Glass: Adventures of a Food and Wine Road Warrior in Spain. 

 

 

Churrería "La Mañueta", in operation for more than 150 years, is the oldest Churrería " in Pamplona, but it is only open for two weekends in June, every day during the Fiestas de San Fermín from July 6 - 14 and on Sundays in October. 

 

I was invited to the back of the churrería by the owners Elías and Fermín Elizalde, where the churros were being fried in vats of oil. I got Enrique’s attention and told him to bring the rest of our crew in. Soon, Elías was showing us the entire production process for La Mañueta’s churros. Elías proudly showed us the purifier he uses to makes sure the water that goes into the churro batter is pristine.

We were even invited to share several plates of churros fresh out of the fryers and were even treated to chupitos of pachaka, apple patxaran. Even my Pamplona family and amigos were impressed with my panache.

Churrería Alba in Ronda, Three Generations and 80 Years of Making Some of the Best Churros in Andalucía, With Maestro Churrero Juan Alba

 

* * * * * 

 

My breakfast this morning on calle Bola (don't go looking for calle Bola, its official name is calle Espinel and it is the main pedestrian only street in Ronda, running nearly a mile from the Plaza de Toros) at Churrería Alba, a legendary churros place that has been going for 80 years. 

 

There is usually a line to get a sidewalk seat in the morning and the bar is packed as well. I got a spot at the bar right next to where third generation of the same family churro maker Juan Alba was making the churros. When I told him that the second volume of Sunset in a Glass: Adventures of a Food and Wine Road Warrior in Spain Enhanced Photography Edition would have a whole chapter on Ronda, he made room for me where he was working, invited me to my fresh squeezed orange juice and offered me a shot of aguardiente at the end. Standing next to me was the doctor for the Plaza de Toros in Ronda.

Sevilla, Retracing Steps Part Two: Iglesia de San Gil A Remarkable Walk From El Arco de la Macarena to the Cathedral Featuring a Half Dozen Mudéjar-and-Gothic Churches Built on the Sites of Former Mosques in the 14th Century

 

* * * * * 

 

Gerry Dawes, Road Warrior, El Arco de la Macarena, Sevilla, June 2021.

 

 

El Arco de la Macarena, Sevilla.   

Since my first entry into Sevilla through El Arco (or La Puerta) de la Macarena in 1968, I have gone back to retrace my steps partially, in April 2016 and again in June 2021 and April 2022, always beginning with breakfast in Bar Plata, one of my favorite places in Sevilla. 

 

I love to begin my explorations from the north end of Sevilla at Bar Plata, whose wonderful mural in azulejos shows how the northern walls of the city and the Macarena gate entrance looked in the past. 

Sometimes I start with a plate of churros and a cup of thick hot chocolate to dip the churros in, often spiked with a shot of Spanish Brandy de Jerez.

The first of the gótico-mudéjares churches on the modern-day calle San Luís—the old Roman cardo maximo, the main north-south calzada or roadway through, also the city´s main road in the Moorish epoch, is the 13^th century la Iglesia de San Gil Abad. It was likely an important mosque just inside the Moorish gate (In Arabic, Bab Macarana; now la Puerta de la Macarena or El Arco de la Macarena) that was the northern entrance to Sevilla and is the gate where I made my unlikely entrance into the city with my Navy buddy and errant navigator Tom Sims for the first time in 1968.  

Iglesia de San Gil Abad, Sevilla.

From 1643 until 1949, San Gil was the seat of the Brotherhood of la Virgen de la Macarena, until the much newer (1949) Basilica de la Macarena was built to be the home of the most venerated Virgen of Sevilla. San Gil is the main church, the more famous basilica is connected to it by a passageway.  San Gil dates from the second half of the 13^th Century and was one of the first Christian churches built after the conquest of Sevilla (in 1248) by Fernando III de Castilla (el Santo). It is one of several so-called alfonsino Gothic-Mudéjar churches built under Fernando’s son, Alfonso X El Sabio, after his father died in the Alcázar in 1252. 

 

 Iglesia de San Gil Abad, Sevilla.

 

Since the Moorish architecture pre-dates Gothic, maybe the description should be Mudéjar-Gothic. Many of these churches still have the minarets that belonged to the mosques that they were built under 12^th & 13^th centuries Almohade rule, with La Giralda tower (built 1184–1198) of the Cathedral of Sevilla being the most prominent example. Though Gothic architecture pre-dominates as a style in these churches, it is the Moorish remnant that make them distinguished. When Fernando I conquered Sevilla after a 16-month siege, he expelled the entire Moorish population of the city, allowing them to leave only with the possessions they could carry.  The complete expulsion did not last long and Moorish craftsmen and other skilled workers begin to return to the city. 

 

Some the Islamic architecture along this route show the remnants of former mosques, others were built by conquered Moorish builders, thus are Mudéjar, i. e. built by Moorish architects, builders and masons working under Christian rule. Further complicating this mélange of Islamic, Mudéjar and Christian Gothic styles are later Renaissance and Baroque additions, which make some of the conglomerate buildings seem as if they were built by Rube Goldberg-esque designers. A powerful earthquake in 1356 hit the remaining Islamic structures hard, destroying several of them. Some were rebuilt in the same style, thus they are truly Mudéjar and not purely Almohade Islamic in origin. San Gil’s architectural origins as a mosque can be seen at the base of the Mudéjar tower. The rest of the tower, which dates to the 13^th century mosque, was remodeled and restored in the 18th century, which left it with little of its original Islamic character.

Vignettes of Madrid: Churros con Chocolate at Churreria y Chocolateria Los Artesanos 1902, San Ginés and in Madrid.

* * * * * 

 

 

Chocolateria San Ginés (just a block away) is more famous, but Churreria y Chocolateria Los Artesanos 1902 claims to be the oldest family run family churreria in Spain.   San Ginés is still good, but often too crowded with tourists, so I sometimes go to Los Artesanos 1902.  Although both places are falling out of favor with me, because they have been too crowded and way too commercial with Los Artesanos 1902 cranking out churros like a fast-food joint.  And, both San Ginés and 1902 have cut out bar service, so I cannot get a shot of Brandy de Jerez to spike my chocolate, so I am gravitating towards other places for churros in Madrid.
