Churrería Alba

Churrería (churros) and breakfasts · Mercadillo

Must try

Freshly made churros with thick chocolate.

About

The go-to churrería on Ronda's main shopping street, with a terrace for people-watching and a room upstairs.

Good to know

Some people find the churros salty: if that bothers you, ask for them with less salt. Mid-morning there is a wait.

Getting there and parking

Park at the Martínez Astein car park (Av. Martínez Astein s/n, 24 h, €1.70/h according to Brainy Backpackers, November 2025) and walk along Carrera Espinel.
