Gofres, the spanish word for waffle, a light batter cake cooked in a waffle iron patterned to give a distinctive and characteristic shape. There are several regional variations based on the type and shape of the iron, the batter, and the thickness and stiffness of the waffle. Waffles are commonly served with one or more of the following: syrup, butter, powdered sugar and berries.

Walking along the La Rambla, we saw this shop selling the famous Gofres and the line was long. I waited eagerly and when it finally came to my turn I was glad the guy could speak English. I ordered the one in the photo, a wafle with chocolate syrup and whipped cream costing EURO 3.50, and we sat down to enjoy the yummy warm waffle.
