MORE INFO ABOUT THE VIDEO 😃
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
I love making tapas tour videos, and generally they take place in the historic centres of Spanish cities - Madrid, Barcelona etc. But this time I wanted to give you guys a true insight into the tapas bars of my Madrid neighbourhood. My barrio! These are places that tourists simply don’t discover, and are such wonderful institutions. The food is delicious and honest, the wine perfect, the prices fair and the company even better. I live in a neighbourhood called Delicias, which is only a few minutes metro ride from the central Puerta del Sol. Hop off the metro here, and amongst these streets are classic taverns, new little family-run tapas bars, bustling local joints, fancier places and everything in between. What I love about these bars is that they are set up purely to serve locals (not chase the tourist euro) and - most of all - they are such welcoming places to spend time in. Most of them are family-run, and have a great story or history behind them. While I love Spanish food, I think my first love might be the Spanish bar - a place which serves as a meeting point for neighbours to eat, drink, argue, shout, flirt, and everything in between. I think the Spanish bar is the most beautiful thing in Spain! And in this video we visit some TRUE Spanish bars.
Across this video I eat jamón, huevos rotos, torreznos (pork belly), grilled Iberian pork, grilled clams in garlic, grilled scallops, croquetas and a fabulously simple tomato drizzled with olive oil. And of course I know bar red wine, white wine, beer and (strangely for me!) sangria!
To get to this barrio, take the line 3 metro from Sol and get off at Delicias or Legazpi.
The bars I visit?
1. Taberna Martín
2. Vinoteca Borboleta
3. Taberna Numancia
4. La Cervecera
5. La Lastra
6. Bodegas Rosell
See you there! Salud!

Hi James. I think a video about top “menus del día” in Madrid would be interesant. It’s amazing how well you can eat for 10 or 12€ in spain.
Spaniards really know how to enjoy the food and prepare it! I feel like I am a Spaniard trapped in anAmerican body! We have a beautiful Spaniard small restaurant very close to our home and I cannot stay away from it! Love everything Spaniard especially the women ha ha!

So true re the tomatoes in Spain. I remember having simple sliced tomatoes for the first time on a weekend trip to Alicante with my Spanish girlfriend after moving to Barcelona. It was just a typical local bar and I wasn't expecting much but it literally took my breath away. I gasped and was in awe of how good it was. The flavours were just out of this world. And it was just a tomato. It was like I had never had a real one before. I tell that story often. I will never forget that. I just love Spain and its fabulous culture.

Great vid! Subscribed! I lived on Calle Delicias from 2005 to 2011, 2 mins walk from Rossell. Great neighbourhood. I frequented El Rincon Asturiano on Calle Delicias, great cider, bravas, generous free tapas and the Fabada is excellent. Honourable mention too for El Principiado just up the street from Rossell. I haven't been in the old neighbourhood now for a year, can't wait to get back. Madrid is the best city in Europe by far. Thanks!

Saludos Yola y James. Muy interesantes los videos de la Madre Patria. Y descubrí el video tomando una cerveza y tratando de mejorar mi inglés, pensé que eras de Inglaterra, pero no más lejos. Entiendo perfectamente tú inglés, jajajjaaj, con Yola es muy difícil, habla como latino , igual que yo. Si terminaron medio pedos después de esta filmación, jajajaja, muy interesante. Estuve en Madrid hace un buen rato, y solo por unas horas, en aquella época estaba en construcción el metro hasta Barajas. Pero bueno, la historia es de ustedes. Saludos y venga desde Salamanca, Guanajuato, México.

In total agreement with you on the tomatoes, I can still remember all those years ago when I tasted my first Spanish tomato, I honestly couldn't believe the difference between what we are eating here in the UK and what was on offer there. Ever since that first taste it's usually the first thing I have when I go back and I've never been disappointed :)
Food looks mmmm

Hi James just found you on a Mark Wiens video love your beautiful wife. Love all the Tapas bars outside Madrid. Wonderful unusual dishes. Just watching you both taste for the first time makes me love Spain even more.
Greetings from a madrileño. These videos are just perfect. You should try Asturias and Cantabria to get marvelled with all the food and drinks there are over there. Also try Granada and Córdoba to have the best free tapas in Spain, you pay a glass and they serve you such an amount that you'll have eaten by the end of the drink. Take a look to: Migas, Cachopo, Pulpo a la Gallega, Cocido Montañés, Cocido Madrileño, Cecina de León, Oreja, Morro, Bravas, Cochinillo Asado of Segovia, Judiones de la Granja, Gazpacho, Salmorejo, Sopa Castellana, Caldereta de Cabrito and Chanfaina of Extremadura, Calsots of Tarragona, Cochifrito, Perdiz en Escabeche, Carcamusas of Toledo, Lomo Ibérico ... Well such a huge variety that I can't just fit them in a comment. Thank you for your work and hope you soon try the desserts also! Abrazos
