Madrid Food and Drink



We enjoyed all the food and drink in Spain, especially the tapas bars like below. The beer was cheap, and you could order a small plate of any food that you liked in the cabinet at the bar.


This was a great little cafe bar in Plaza Mayor. The hams hanging up are Iberian ham, and most stores sell them.



Enjoying a Mahou beer and some olives.
A typical food store in Madrid.

These are chocolate churros. The cafe that sold them was absolutely packed, you had to push and shove to get a table. Its only open during the night, as its traditionally a breakfast food and a lot of people enjoy them on the way home after a night on the town. You dip the churros in the hot chocolate which is very thick and creamy. If you order a hot chocolate in the cafes, you usually get hot chocolate which looks like this.

We accidentally ordered black pudding when ordering tapas. The menu was in spanish and we decided that the spanish name sounded yum, without realising what it actually was!
