Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Córdoba's churro, piped in one continuous loop rather than short sticks, fried in a shallow pan and cut to length with scissors. Eaten first thing with a cup of very thick chocolate.
The jeringo takes its name from the jeringa, the syringe-shaped press the dough is squeezed through, and the Córdoba version differs from the Madrid churro in shape and thickness: a single wide spiral, cut to order, with a chewier interior. Churrerías here open before dawn and shut by early afternoon, and a handful reopen for the merienda around 17:00. The dough is flour, water and salt and nothing else, which is why the frying temperature does all the work. The city's remaining counters, from Santos Mártires by the Alcázar to the neighbourhood shops in San Andrés, all run the same short trading window.

Churrería Victoria fries jeringos on Avenida Doctor Fleming in Córdoba and is one of the few in the city that reopens for the afternoon merienda.
OrderJeringos with a cup of thick chocolate, morning or merienda.
TipWeekends are mornings only; the 17:00 to 20:00 merienda service runs Monday to Friday.
Churrería Arroyo de San Andrés fries jeringos in a residential Córdoba barrio, open from 08:00 and finished by early afternoon six days a week.
OrderJeringos, the thick looped Córdoba churro, with chocolate.
TipClosed Mondays and shut by 14:00, which is why the Judería crowds never find it.
Mojaelchurro fries organic churros and sopaipas on Corregidor Luis de la Cerda in Córdoba, closing at 13:00 the way a real churrería should.
OrderSopaipas, the flatter Andalusian fried dough, rather than the churros.
TipIt shuts at 13:00, so this is a first-thing stop and never an afternoon one.
Churrería Santos Mártires works a kiosk facing the Alcázar in Córdoba and trades in a four-and-a-half-hour window before packing up at midday.
OrderChurros and chocolate, eaten on a bench facing the Alcázar walls.
TipThe window is 07:30 to 12:00 flat, so this is a stop before the Alcázar rather than after it.
