When I visited Spain I found myself eating tons of churros con chocolate, tapas, and ham in general. Madrid and Torremolinos have some amazing food choices! Traveling to Spain soon? Here is a guide to my favorite local places to eat:
1. Mercado de San Miguel
The famous Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid, Spain. Where you will find the most popular Spaniard eats in one place.
The finest type of ham there is in Spain.. your typical Jamón Ibérico or Iberian Ham found at the Mercado de San Miguel. Did you even go to Spain if you did not try Jamón Ibérico?
Spaniard fruit stand in the Mercado de San Miguel. There is nothing better than fresh fruit from the Mercado de San Miguel after a day of walking all over the city of Madrid exploring.
Granizados or smoothies in flavors like strawberry and lemon, so good!!
And you cannot forget about the Spaniard desserts! All in the Mercado de San Miguel.
Jamón Ibérico, Pastrami, and sausage at the Mercado de San Miguel, cannot pass these up!
2. San Gines
Chocolateria San Gines, one of the most famous places for churros y chocolate and definitely one of my favorite places!
So yummy!!
Churros y chocolate (a cup of Nutella goodness)... a breakfast staple in Spain.
Churros are delicious just on their own but dipped in hot chocolate, they are even better!
If you want warm and crispy churros, visit Chocolateria San Gines in Madrid, Spain!!
3. La Rollerie
Typical breakfast, Nesquik and pain au chocolat at La Rollerie. We stumbled across La Rollerie and it turns out they have some of the BEST chocolate croissants in Madrid, Spain.
Grilled ham, scrambled eggs, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, and fresh squeezed orange juice. Found at La Rollerie...a perfect start to your Sunday morning breakfast in Madrid, Spain.
4. Torremolinos, Spain
Fresh squeezed orange juice daily, mainly for breakfast...THE BEST! Find this in the streets of Torremolinos.
5. Nonna
Some delicious Nonna ice cream for dessert to complete your meal when in Torremolinos, Spain.
There are so many delicious flavors to choose from that you cannot go wrong with anyone you pick!
Of course there are many other local eats, but these are just some of my favorites when I traveled to Spain. Do not worry all of these yummy calories WILL be walked off with all the sightseeing you do in Spain!
