  • Here is the place to go after el Rastro, the visit is compulsory to everybody who goes to El Rastro. The Flea Market was originally situated in a slaughter house and the trace of blood that the dead animals left gave the name of the flea market in madrid. In El Rastro you can find all, and after, in this bar is nice to eat the chicken wings(alitas de pollo), meatballs(albondigas), tortilla de patata, cañas, wines...and dicovered that El Ratro is not only shopping!

    the picture is in the bar and photo was made by Sonny, one day we met there.

    Gastronomy: chocolate with churros
  • Tip Rating:
  • It's is typical from Madrid to have chocolate with churros(this is a thing made with flour and fried in olive oil), you can try in every cafe and bar in madrid. in this wonderful shop and cafe: cacao sampaka(C/ Orellana 4), the best chocalete but they don't have churros so you can eat other sweets or salted things with your chocalate!

  • In Spain children get their Christmas present on the 6th of January. These are given by the Reyes Magos(the three kings who gave presents to the baby Christ). Children leave turron and cava for the Reyes and the camels!!!!!All that day we eat Roscon de Reyes, a cake (see the picture) which has a surprise inside. The typical are withouth cream, but lately there are different styles of the traditional.

    ... and TAPAS is a dish with, for instance, potatoes, octopus, cheese, scamble eggs with asparrags(esparragos trigueros), sepia, stuffed peppers, pimientos de padrón, albondigas(meat balls), croquetas....

    Spectacular pinchos in:
