It's the kind of old-school Spanish bar where the locals go — standing at the counter with a caña in hand, shouting over the clatter of plates and good conversation. Order the boquerones en vinagre — marinated white anchovies that are tangy, fresh, and perfect with an ice-cold beer. Pair that with a bocadillo de calamares (fried calamari sandwich) — crispy, simple, and satisfying — and you’ve got a true Madrileño experience."
