Madrid is super hot which for a Caribbean girl like myself is saying quite a lot. We did quite a bit of walking through this beautiful city yesterday, going the Royal Palace and surrounding areas. Just beautiful. I will share some of the photos of the sights later.
But yesterday was all about the food. Tapas. Oh, the tapas. I am actually rushing out to meet up with some of my friend's friends but will share some of the delicious highlights from yesterday. While I cannot remember all the names, they were all very delicious. The first is really some Iberian ham on toasted bread. The second was a bit of a venison dish, which was very well seasoned and went nicely with some bread.
The third photo below is of migas which is a mixture of bread fried with onions and herbs. The final photo is of a serving of morcillas on toasted bread. I had actually enquired about this earlier in the day while in one of the city markets and decided it sounded like something I would not eat. It is made using pig's blood and is pretty much black pudding, similar to what we have in Trinidad, but much tastier. We had two servings of this cause it was so good. And of course, many many drinks. Loving it all, my friends. Loving it all.

Love love love Spanish food. Did you make it to Cava Baja for the tapas? When we were in Madrid last year we stayed in an inn about a block from the Plaza Mayor. We found a little restaurant called Café Cantelejo on Calle Toledo and had either breakfast or our nightly coffee there. We've definitely developed a taste for the joven wines. Visiting from SITs Sharefest. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteWe did sample tapas in La Latina, all very good. I did not have one single bad experience I tell you. lol.
DeleteWow! That food looks so foreign to what I'm used to. I really need to get out more. So jealous of your adventures. Keep posting!
ReplyDeleteTry you must, VV. I hope you make your adventure very soon! I will be waiting!
DeleteFood in Spain. Yes, please. The End. Just give me tapas and fill my glass repeatedly and I'm good.
