- Join us for Spanish breakfast in Granada, Spain as we review a number of traditional favorites such as Spanish omelettes (tortilla española), Spanish donuts with chocolate (churros con chocolate) and Spanish sandwiches with cured ham (bocadillo de jamón serrano). In addition to this we also ordered tea, coffee and cappuccino along with a slice of carrot cake. It turned into more of a large brunch than a breakfast by the end of the meal.
Our final verdict is we loved our meal. The atmosphere in the cafe was really cool, the quality of everything was excellent and the price was reasonable. We'd highly recommend checking it out.

Spanish Breakfast in Granada, Spain Travel Food Video Transcript:
Good morning. It is a Saturday here in Granada. And not a creature is stirring. Not even a mouse. The plan for today is to go out for breakfast. We want to show you what a Spanish breakfast looks like. Yesterday while we were out in town Sam noticed a place (Via Colon). We're going to try and retrace our steps. There is a few good places so yeah we won't have any trouble finding one.
Okay so Sam found a great little spot for us not too far from the apartment. This place is called ViaColon and it is a beautiful coffee house (cafe). Like it is classy inside. And prices are very reasonable I have to say. Yeah. It is competitive with some more rustic looking places. We ordered three different things. They have a menu for breakfast. You have like 5 different options. We've ordered 3 of them because we were feeling pretty hungry. We think we can tackle 3 breakfasts between the two of us.
Okay we're going to start off with something sweet. That is the plan now guys.
Going in for the churros. The churros dunk. In a hot chocolate. I just love the thickness of the chocolate. I just can't get over it. When have you seen hot chocolate so thick. And it is like dunking it in chocolate sauce. Sludge. Chocolate sludge.
Okay now that we've had our sweet stuff let's move on to the savory. Oh yeah. And first up we have the tortilla which the best way to describe this would be like a potato and egg omelette. Yeah. It is about an inch thick. And yeah. I'd say this is a bit more of a generous portion than what I'm used to. Like they really give us a nice slab here.
Time for me to go in for the Spanish Tortilla (tortilla española).
Anyways uh it is very simple ingredients. Just potato and egg. Yeah. And it is thick. It is a lot denser than what it may look like.
So the third item on the menu it was listed as bari which I haven't heard before because it is kind of like a toasted sandwich with Jamón serrano. Oh can you open that one more time. And on the other side. Oh. We've got the tomato. I didn't know it came with tomato. I couldn't even see that when I was first looking. I know.
This is our first time having it with tomato. Yeah. Like usually when we ask for a bocadillo de jamón serrano. Like a sandwich. Yeah. It is just bread and ham.
That was a glorious feast of feasts. It was already big enough breakfast but yeah I'm certainly full now.
On to price point. It came to just under 19 Euros. that included 3 breakfast mains. Out of those breakfast mains the hot chocolate came with the churros (churros con chocolate). Your tea came with the sandwich right. I ordered an additional cappuccino.
And then an additional slice of cake. That was a lot of food for 19 Euros. It really was. Great atmosphere in here. The quality of everything was good. I'd highly recommend coming here. What a great way to start the day.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.

Granada mi ciudad donde todo es bueno y hasta maravilloso.venid en abril cuando todo huele a primavera.
The tortilla normally has potatoes onions and egg in it. Simple and delicious.
Love the simplicity and taste of it.
mmm the crunch of that bread! And that carrot cake looks gorgeous! Love your channel!
Thank you! It was a superb breakfast :)
Oh churros, WOW! One of the best souvenirs in my trip in Spain. Good job guys! Nice to see you as always! Greetings. Renata
Thank you! We love churros!
Oh I so enjoy these food videos.
Thanks for a great video.
Thank you very much! We'll have another one out soon.
Carrot cake, how could you refuse! Your smiles are great. Another video that makes me hungry. 😊
Ah thank you! We sure enjoyed this breakfast.
The cured ham sandwich in Granada was my absolute favourite when we visited. We sat down in a restaurant in a large piazza, went to a locals breakfast restaurant. It was incredible.
That is so cool to hear! The quality of all the ingredients from the bread to the meat is just incredible.
Great looking food & I too am a carrot cake lover. I can never walk away from a nice good piece of deliciousness! Just enjoy watching your videos as they are always upbeat & fun to watch. Wish you all the best in your travels. Take care & as always safe travels!
Thank you very much! We're actually hanging out with Rob in Japan right now. He says hi :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Huge hello to Rob! Yeah Rob is the one that me started watching all of these travel channels & I just think its a very great community full of very great people!
All of these dishes look amazing! We love ham and baguette as well. Such a perfect do-it-yourself meal when travelling. Thank you for sharing this and for the name of the cafe! We will definitely check it out if we are in Granada! :)
Thank you! It was a really nice spot and good value as well.
Las cosas claras y el chocolate , espeso
Just ran into your channel and it looks great! Going to follow and stay tuned with your travels. =)
Thank you very much!
Also must credit you, your videos are top notch in quality ( love the camera sliding like butter and capturing all things gorgeous) and content 👌
Thank you very much!
Hi Sam and Audrey, This was a really great video. I loved seeing you guys enjoy your favourite Spanish breakfast foods. I found your experience informative but also funny - especially when Sam ordered a carrot cake in the end. I couldn't help but giggle when he later said he didn't need the carrot cake. But it was all worth it I think!
Thank you very much Georgina! I need to practise more self control ;)
Thank you for bringing my city, Granada inside my living room in Texas!
Thank you very much! We sure loved visiting your city. It was my (Sam) favorite place on this whole trip :)
You have a beautiful city and I am sure texas is pretty too
You couldn’t have chosen a better place to live in the US. Texas is my favorite State, very nice, proud and polite people.
I’m in Granada, I’m going tomorrow for breakfast. Thank you guys.
Great to hear Jenny! Hope it is delicious.
ya es hora de que vinieseis a España , bienvenidos
That food looked heavenly. The potato and egg omelette item looked especially good.
Thank you! It was a great way to start the day. Yeah, having a bit of savory to balance out the sweet was especially nice.
Nice video. I love it!!
We are just back from our trip to Andalusia, including Granada. Due to your video (and also our Airbnb host recommendation), we had breakfast at Via Colon. I really wanted churros again (hubby not as much a fan) and I'd seen there was breakfast food. So I got my churros and hubby got more of an American breakfast with a lot of meat. It was fabulous, thanks!
Thank you! Glad you both liked it. We'd love to revisit someday.
Your my people, breakfast dessert!!!
Everything looked really good! I love carrot cake. Is that the place you wanted to go to or did you find another place?
Thanks for a great video!!!!!
Thank you!
Spain is ❤️ and the food is 😋
Agree with you on both counts :)
Mmm looks yummy
Thanks! It was tasty.
I’ve had the churros and chocolate drink the drink is so thick but delicious
That churros are called here "Porras". ;D glad you enjoy your visit!!! Xoxo!!
Samuel & Audrey, Saw your Viacolon (Granada) breakfast video while doing research for a trip I took in October '18. That restaurant looked so inviting and the breakfast you ordered (churros con chocolate and tortilla espanola) so delicious that I simply had no option but to go there myself, My breakfast certainly lived up to expectations. (No, I didn't have the ham sandwich or the carrot cake). They even sat me at your table! Thanks for the video and the info.
Thanks Brian! What a small world. Ah, that was a fantastic spot. Glad the quality has endured.
I stumbled on your video this morning( Like #565 ) and it told me just what I needed to know;What the weather is like in February.We'll be flying into Malaga Feb. 13th and plan to spend 4 or 5 days in Granada as well as Ronda.Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! Wishing you a great trip!
Delicioso todo
They made me hungry
Watching you guys back to back, and I could predict Sam ordering a carrot cake ! Lol ! Pass me the churros and the hot chocolate pls 😛
Heheheh...carrot cake is just a must
After a few months away we are now ready to enjoy your videos again , wife’s new business has really taken off so lack of spare time but glad we are back , hope your both well cheers 🇬🇧
Thank you very much and a warm welcome back! That is wonderful to hear and wish you the best with your new business.
Fantastic video from Spain. But, do you have hungry the rest of the day?. That envy gave me, jeje. Saludos
Thank you! Yes we did eat later on...jaja
At times in the Miami grocery stores they would sell the "Serranitos" sandwiches. Sooooo good, the Serrano Ham!
That looks to die for! I grew up on a Spanish diet in Miami, opposed to a Cuban diet? Thanx❤
You gotta start breakfast with sweets lol. Yum he churros look delicious and I love carrot cake it’s so good 😍
Thank you! Churros + carrot cake was pretty awesome. Glad to hear you like them as well!
I like breakfast when it has chocolate
I make my Spanish style ham sandwich the following way: a fine coat of mildly garlic flavored olive oil. Toast the bread en “la chapa”. Pile up the best jamon Serrano you can afford. Coat the side of the bread you are going to put a slice of tomato on with maionese ( the mayo prevents the bread from getting soggy). Use a good quality tomato and a slice of roasted red pepper. Enjoy it with a strong cup of black coffee or chimarron.
SOunds super tasty!
I miss spain and those big potato fritattas. gambas ala plancha. When I got to granada the alhambra was fully booked out. I was so pissed it was so hard to get there. big tours plow it up these days so you have to book in advance.
Thank you! That is too bad to hear. Even in the extreme off-season when we visited it was very busy so I can only imagine what it must be like the summer.
Toujours en promenade 👍👍👍
:)
Love u guys..haj, haj from Bosnia
Hey! We miss being there.
Having to jump ahead or I may never catch up :) That chocolate does look nice
Thank yoU! That was the best part to be honest.
I'm having a go at that Spanish omlette, Interesting how they made the churros. None of the sharp edges
we don't usually eat the tortilla in the morning, is usually for lunch or dinner
Hi Sam &Audrey, nice to see you, I was sleeping. and looking you inmediatly i prepared my hard coffee, I am going to Peruvian Restaurant at Chicago happy nice day guys.
Thank you! OH, that is awesome! What are you going to order?
The south of Spain is not always sunny and hot.
That is true!
Waw❤❤
Wait a sec, is it that cold in June or did you film earlier in the year and upload later? Great videos, btw 😉
We filmed that in February. It must be nice and warm now.
In June it's 40°C at least xD
Adding the tomato to the bocadillo is a catalan thing, and it's awesome (pa amb tomaquet).
When I was in university in Madrid, I would have my breakfast each day at a bar that was on the route to school. Each day it would be cafe con leche and fresh churros. At the same time nearly every days, 2 very well dressed men, lawyers or bankers I suspect, would be there for their breakfast. Very simple, they drank a Sol y Sombra. A combination of a large shot of anisette and another of cognac. On Mondays it would be a double!!
So cool to hear William! Love the routine and also the familiar faces.
The chocolate is thick because is chocolate, in the US they eat water with cocoa powder which is not chocolate.
It is so tasty and authentic.
@@samuelandaudrey Here, it is customary to drink hot chocolate in San Juan(summer solstice) after we set fire to a huge bonfire, it is a heritage from our pagan religion.
loving all the B roll :-) yummy video as always.. love watching you guys .. ((stomach grumble)) oops! ;-)
Thank you very much!
If your cold in the morning, do as the locals - get a carajillo or two - that will warm ya' up 😀😀😀😀
The Mexican churro is rolled in sugar and cinnamon. Are they plain in spain?
THey can be both styles. The Mexican one sounds awesome!
@@samuelandaudrey They are excellent. You should try one. Visit Mexico on your next journey.
Now I recognize the hosts again......ready, set, EAT......:-)
Hahaha...back in our element stuffing our beaks ;)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Feed the head.....☺
Hey! Tip from someone from Spain. Want that quality of chocolate? For the thickness and such. Just warm up some chocolate pudding, it has to be a bit liquid, more of a cream than a flan, and when you heat it it should liquify a bit more
Thanks for the tip!
Sam is definitely a European movie star in that red scarf and glasses. Once again, "just to confirm" ha ha "for scientific reasons" ha ha, you've helped me decide on breakfast: a salami carpaccio, Foreman-grilled on top of steak-sized french fries. Hey, I can't "be there" but, I sure can pretend! tc Colin
Hahaha...thanks! Hey don't downplay things. Your breakfast sounds epic! :)
Churros with chocolate and that jamón serrano were so delicious! And to me, the 3 breakfasts you ordered were not that much to be shared by both of you. The cake was the best way to end that great meal!
Thank you very much! Glad we share a good appetite :)
❤️💛💛❤️
When was filmed this video?🤔
In February.
i think the most popular breakfast it can be jamon tomatoe and olive oil ,people order "a catalan"
Oh, that is cool to hear!
Hi guys I'm from Spain and the actual name of these churros is "porras". Nice video bdw!!!
Thank you for the correction.
How long do you stay in a country on average?🤔
It really varies. I would say 2-6 weeks depending on how many places we visit.
@@samuelandaudrey ok cool
Its high time...bdw i love u guys but sam should really retire the puma jacket😂😂....another great video guyz👍
Thanks! It is actually a different jacket but it looks kind of similar ;)
In Andalusia - forget churros and the rest of this bollocks. Pan con tomate - plain, simple and nobody does it better.
I definitely think there is room for eating churros and other bollocks because all food should be enjoyed. Not everyone could stomach tomatoes at breakfast and some people have a sweet tooth and could find churros very enjoyable first thing in the morning. I don't think it is necessary to follow convention just to enjoy food so in Italy I have no problem drinking cappuccino or latte after a meal when Italians say it is a no no and I have no problem drinking wine with my pizza when Italians say you should drink beer because I hate beer. Life is too short, embrace the bollocks and enjoy it if that's your thing. I know that I will continue to eat nothing else but churros for breakfast when I am in Andalusia.
My mom makes pan con tomate too!!!
and I love the video editing 😮 Would love to learn how to edit videos like a Pro like you guys. God Bless in your trip
Thank you very much! We've just learned a bit along the way. We had no idea how to edit or shoot when we first started.
wow what a food ! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm:)
Thankk you! Wish we could share.
Cool idea:)
Spain and lots of places in Europe tend not to have a hearty breakfast. They seem to just eat sweat bread and some type of strong coffee.
So you guys had breakfast in a restaurant called "Via Colon" and it's not the teensiest tiny gag right? Sure sure sure! The food did look great tho.
Hahaha...thanks! It was a great breakfast.
Colón is the Spanish name for Columbus! and via is just 'Way' so Via Colón is "Columbus Way"
how do you manage to walk normally after all these meals? You must have great digestive systems haha
hahahaha...sometimes we need a big sleep followed by a big walk ;)
Ya nos gustaría a la mayoría de los españoles, poder ir a vuestros países y pegarnos una fiesta gastronómica en cualquier cafetería de cualquier pueblo, como la que os acabáis de dar aquí... Algo muy posible, e incluso normal, en toda España; además con tanta variedad de productos y sabores, como regiones y provincias existen, y usualmente con unos precios bastante asequibles.
Porque, normalmente, cuando salimos al extranjero regresamos más delgados; y los que venís aquí, a la inversa, os vais casi siempre con algunos kilos de más.
Eso te pasará a ti, que viajas con lo mínimo. Los españoles gastamos mucho cuando salimos fuera de España. Anda y tira a llorarle a Pablo Igleisas, tu líder, y deja de hablar mal de los españoles.
@@miguel-spain1142 ¡Pero qué dices, criatura? ¿Pablo Iglesias mi líder? ¿Hablar yo mal de los españoles? Deja de desvariar, anda. Y respeta un poco, porque no me conoces de nada. Por lo que veo, tienes la perspicacia donde otros tienen las hemorroides...
En primer lugar, las palabras "España" y "españoles" para dicho sujeto y la gente que le vota (yo desde luego que no, ¡nunca!) no existen: sería en todo caso "este país" y la "gente de este país".
Por otro lado, yo también cuando salgo fuera gasto mucho; y sé que los españoles, por norma general somos todos así. ¡Precisamente por eso escribí lo que escribí! Me refiero a que el festín que se pegaron estos dos señores, es casi imposible que cualquiera de nosotros nos lo podamos podamos pegar en Francia, en Alemania, en Suiza...; porque la variedad que hay aquí, la cantidad en las raciones y la relación calidad precio, son simple y llanamente, incomparables.
Un poco de comprensión lectora, y menos reprís a la hora de lanzarte a responder los comentarios de los demás, por favor.
@@miguel-spain1142 los que quieren a España son el del caballo, el del master y el de la farli. Recortar en sanidad y educación, pensuones subvencionar sus vicios (toros y caza) Eso no es querer a España eso es ir en contra de los españoles que quieren un futuro mejor.
@@j.demieres4154 estás diciendo una verdad como un templo y viene el tipico que solo busca crear odio con él que piensa diferente y da lecciones de a quien votar y a quien no en un video de comida. Un loco, vamos.
the first was Porras, it is similar to churros but different
Thanks for letting us know!
En Andalucía o por lo menos en Cádiz, le llamamos a eso churro y a lo que tu conoces como churros les llamamos papitas, probablemente en Granada sea igual
wow Samuel take it easy with the SUGAR
I went a bit overboard for sure!
Tortilla española= Eggs, potatoes and.. onion! Ham sand.wich always with tomato.. much nicer, sometimes I add a thin layer of manchego cheese.
Thanks for letting us know!
Thank you for your videos!!! @@samuelandaudrey
Hot chocolate in Italy is like this too
Cool to hear!
Travel With Mansoureh not always :/
Where are you guys from? You sound Hawaiian.
Interesting guess! We're from Canada.
Wow, You have an accent. I wouldn't have guessed Canada.
Hi guys! Samuel looks a bit like Jesse from "Breaking bad".😊😉
Hey! Ah, thank you! Hahahaha...I have been compared to him a few times now
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos haha. So funny. I love your videos by the way. I would love to travel and eat like that. You're so lucky😎🤗
Hugs from Cannes, France.
Thank you very much! Where would you like to go first. Oh, Cannes! Would love to visit there someday. We've unfortunately only been Paris in France. So much to see and do in your country!
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos well, it's not really my country because I am Polish but I have live here for 14 years (12 in Paris and 2 in Cannes).
I love Paris.
I would love to go to the US (my half sister lives there) and to Venezuela, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Spain, Norway, Iceland, Thailand, Kirghistan, Turkey etc... There are many countries on my list!
Hola, ten cuidado que engordan mucho, creo que estáis comiendo Porras, parece que son mas grandes que los churros, prácticamente es la misma masa, bienvenido España Loveeeeeee
:)
Are guys not firefighters!!!???, that is all we did was eat and cook at the firehouse back then....just kidding...we were very busy station when I was on the floor...still miss it, but I do like my retirement.
Hehehe...that sounds like fun!
P'amboli /pa amb tomaquet is one of the best aspects of spanish/catalan (&mallorquin etc.) bocadillo culture.
Cool to hear.
That is a very meagre portion of churros and the chocolate is diluted, it should be darker and richer than that. If you are going to be spending a day working out on the hillsides bringing in olives, you need something filling like that tortilla ; ketchup? NEVER!! unless you are a Philistine. Spreading your sandwich with tomato is way healthier than a load of fats (butter, margarine or even olive oil) and as you said gives a moisture which makes the bread part slide down easily. Most of us just have 'un café con leche y tostada (or media tostada)' that is 'a coffee and a half (or a whole if you prefer) toast' and a 'toast' is not just a measly slice of bread but maybe (depending on the establishment) a chapata cuadrada halved horizontally and the equivalent of a couple of slices of thick sliced bread for the media tostada or double that for a full tostada.
19 Euros, that was expensive. Two breakfasts with extra coffee normally costs us 6.20€ but we aren't in a tourst trap like Granada.
I was in shock when she said that the tortilla need it or will go good with ketchup! Blasphemy!!! 😳
Everything tastes better with a good dollop of a quality ketchup! I would go further I would coat it with a good layer of dark sausage gravy!
Overall, slightly cheaper than California prices.
Good to know. Where are the best places to visit in California for budget travelers?
I used to travel a lot around California some time ago. I'm not sure if there are still many places left for budget travelers here, maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps it all depends on what budget means to you.
This guy looks like Brandon Walsh from Beverly Hills 90210 tv series :D
Hahahaha...thanks! We used to watch that.
la tortilla de patatas esta buena con un trozo pan, la tortilla sola esta buena pero le falta el sabor salado del pan que potencia mas la tortilla
despues de zamparon todos los desayunos, me imagino que os iriais derechos a echaros una siesta, porque yo con la mitad exploto.
dip the churro in the chocolate, and then ad sugar, so that it sticks. lol
Thanks for the tip Bruce!
Los churros son delgados,eso que come Audrey se llaman porras.Y primero se come lo salado el dulce es para lo último
Gracias!
First you have todo put the churro it the chocolate and then put it in the sugar
Thanks for the tip.
:-)
Those are not churros! They are called porras. And they are my favorites!
Oh, thanks for lettting us know!
En Andalucía o por lo menos en Cádiz, le llamamos a eso churro y a lo que tu conoces como churros les llamamos papitas, probablemente en Granada sea igual
En Granada se hacen churros, no porras .Te lo dice una granadina .
Audrey, tu es si belle. Êtes-vous Français?
Man winter clothing kayo jan kasi hot jan
Those are not churros. They are called "porras". A bit different.
Thanks for letting us know.
@@samuelandaudrey Well, a lot of people call "churros" to the porras, too. I myself and all the people I know do it.
Lo mas delgado y con estrias son churros, y lo mas grueso son Porras.
I was shocked to see that they served the tortilla with tomato. I have ordered tortilla de patatas many times in Spain and they have never given me fresh vegetables with it (only not too healthy fried pepper). However, you did not get bread... :S Never satisfied with this dish.
AH, I do think it is unusual to get the tomatoes. Did you have a favorite place to try it?
Im only watching this vid bc im forced to (online Spanish work)
Appreciate the honesty Jessie. Good luck on your project.

You need to chew! How can you even taste food/flavors? How???
Good point.
When u realize that the real spanish national foos is "tortilla de patatas" but u go to a bar in Granada for breakfast and order it instead of "pan con aceite y azucar". _Andalusian laughs_

If you have breakfast in Granada, you can not say it's a Spanish breakfast, it's different in all Spanish communities.
Granada breakfast then :)
Unfortunately you are in a touristic bar (I know it, I live in Granada) and this is not an authentic spanish breakfast.
No one in Spain eats Tortilla in the morning. In Spain the traditional breakfast (in a bar) is composed by squeezed orange juice, cofee or "colacao" (hot cocoa) and toasted bread (true bread) with olive oil, smeared tomato and salt, or the same with serrano ham or toasted bread with butter and marmalade (strawberry or peach), and other less popular options like toasted bread with paté, or ham with cheese, or sobrasada and cheese.
Hot chocolate and churros use to be a "merienda" (half afternoon little meal) or a breakfast for special days and sundays.
What you have eat in Granada are REAL churros, this thing made in Madrid is industrial and far of what original churros are. In fact the "porra" is the first part of the wheel of the churro (if you know how churros are made).
Also carrot cake... is a modern trend and as a desert after lunch or for "merienda".
Thank you for letting us know about that Torii!
In basque country is typical to eat churros with chocolate in the morning too after a full night party and in new year morning.
