STOP Madrid

This old tavern opened as a shop selling Iberian ham in 1929, and over the years transformed into a favourite local tapas bar. It has a good range of Spanish wines, all available by the glass, as well as traditional tapas and raciones (larger, sharing plates) featuring Spanish cheeses like Manchego, Spanish hams and sausages. Its warm, wooden interiors are the ideal place for a drink and a bite to eat while shopping on Gran Vía. Grab the window seat if you can; it’s a great spot for people-watching.
