FOOD
Bocadillo de Calamares
Bocadillo de Calamares is one of Madrid’s most beloved street foods. This simple yet delicious sandwich features crispy fried squid rings served in a fresh, crusty baguette. Often enjoyed with a squeeze of lemon or a light sauce, it is a local favorite, especially around Plaza Mayor, offering an authentic taste of Madrid.
Espetos
A typical dish from Málaga and Southern Spain consisting of fish, traditionally sardines, skewered on thin and long rods and grilled over open olive-wood fires – often set up right on the beach in old fishing boats filled with sand – to produce a smoky, juicy dish full of flavour.
Espinacas con Garbanzos
With deep roots in Spain’s Moorish history, “spinach with chickpeas” is a classic, comforting traditional tapas dish from Andalusia, especially Seville, featuring tender spinach and chickpeas simmered in a rich, spiced sauce made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and a splash of vinegar.
