Explora los sabores auténticos de Community of Madrid en una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable.
Madrid is an autonomous community that revolves around its capital, a city that never sleeps, vibrant, welcoming and full of contagious energy. It is an epicenter of art, with the Paseo del Prado housing the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums within a few meters. It is a capital of kings, with the majesty of the Royal Palace and its gardens. But Madrid is much more than its city: it is the university history of Alcalá de Henares, the Versailles gardens of Aranjuez and the peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama, which offer an escape from nature and fresh air just a few kilometers from the urban bustle. Madrid is an invitation to experience the streets, to enjoy its terraces, to have tapas in its markets, to get lost in its neighborhoods and to discover that there is always something new to do.

The gastronomy of Madrid is a melting pot of cuisines from all over Spain. Although it does not have a regional cuisine as defined as others, it has made iconic dishes its own and has elevated tapas to the category of art. Its gastronomic markets are a hive of life.
The most emblematic dish. A hearty chickpea stew with various meats and sausages, which is traditionally served in three 'turns': first the soup, then the chickpeas with the vegetables, and finally the meats.
A Madrid institution. A simple but delicious sandwich of Roman-style squid, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is essential to try it in the bars around the Plaza Mayor.
A dish for the brave. A gelatinous and tasty stew of beef tripe with chorizo and blood sausage, with a touch of paprika and chilli. Perfect for winter.
A simple delight. Quality fried potatoes, topped with fried eggs with runny yolk and, usually, strips of Iberian ham or chistorra. The ritual is to break the eggs and mix everything.
The cover par excellence. Diced fried potatoes covered with a spicy paprika sauce. Each bar has its own secret recipe for salsa brava.
Going for vermouth is a Madrid tradition. In many traditional bars it is served straight from the tap, often with a slice of orange and an olive. It is the quintessential appetizer of the weekend.
More than a drink, it is a measure and an institution. The Madrid beer, small and served very cold in a thin glass, is famous for being 'well drawn', with just the right amount of foam. It is the basis of social life on the terraces.
The community has its own Denomination of Origin, with subzones such as San Martín de Valdeiglesias or Arganda. They are increasingly recognized wines, especially their Garnacha reds and Albillo whites.
An anise with Protected Geographical Indication, one of the most famous in Spain. It is produced in Chinchón and comes in dry, extra dry and sweet varieties, making it a very popular digestif.

The most traditional breakfast or snack. Freshly made porras (thicker) or churros (thinner) to dip in a cup of hot, thick chocolate. Historic chocolate shops like San Ginés open almost 24 hours.
Madrid is a very safe city, but as in any large capital, you must be careful with pickpockets in the subway and in areas with large tourist agglomerations. Summer can be extremely hot, with temperatures exceeding 35-40°C, so it is vital to hydrate and seek shade in the central hours of the day. The public transportation system (Metro) is excellent, it is the best way to get around the city.
