Food in Madrid

Sometimes it seems like I travel simply to eat. Wait, that's exactly what I do. I think my ideal trips include lots of walking, museums, seeing important sites, and food. If I had to choose two vacation necessities, they would be walking and food. I think the best way to talk about it is via pictures.

This is a tea/smoothie/cocktail bar near C/Mayor in Alcalá. The tea was amazing, as was everything else. They also have wifi. If I were a student living there, I would totally study here. It is right next to Hemisferio--I just can't remember the name!

A typical tapas bar in Madrid.

I love taking pictures like this for my students. They freak out that so much ham is in the window. I love the cheeses and the wine as well. Spaniards don't know how good they have it!

Another food place in Madrid.

This is rabo de toro: bull's tail. I ate it at an Asturias restaurant, even though it's not a specialty from there. However, it was delicious!

In Asturias, they specialize in Cider. The waiters have a special way of pouring it as well. Since I couldn't get up there, the restaurant had a toy to pour it for me!

Arroz con leche, a la asturiana. Yes, that is burned sugar on top.

These are two tapas in Alcalá from el Quinto Tapón. The left is chopitos, little fish that taste like calamari. The right are ham croquettes. Amazing!

These are what the croquettas look like inside. SO good!

Homemade paella. It doesn't get any better than this.
