Spain. Looking back it seems like a dream, but the afternoon siestas, colorful buildings & streets lined in orange trees were, in fact, real. If you are thinking about where to go on your next vacation, let me stop you there. Espa\u00f1a<\/b>\u00a0is the place to be.<\/p>\n

Like most things in my life, my vacations are typically centered around food, and Spain was no exception. What was on my list of must-eats? Rioja (for starters), spanish olives, jamon, manchego…shall I continue? Needless to say, Spain did not disappoint in the food category. In fact, some of the best food we had was in the capital city, Madrid.<\/p>\n

Although I wish I could say that I just stumbled upon these places, I did a lot of foodie research pre-departure. In fact, Lonely Planet<\/a> became my best friend during the months preceding our trip. But, the preparation was half the fun. And now, I share with you my list of “must eats” for your next trip to Madrid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Madrid<\/p>\n

Stand at the counter of La Mallorquina<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to start your day with a breakfast pastry & cafe con leche.<\/p>\n

Taste one of everything in the gastronomical splendor that is Mercado San Miguel.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Grab a table & do some people watching in Plaza Mayor<\/strong><\/span> with a glass of \u00a0Sangria in hand.<\/p>\n

Go tapas bar hopping along\u00a0Calle Cava Baja<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0& chat up the locals.<\/p>\n

Dine like Hemingway & Bourdain at Casa Salvador<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> Don’t miss their traditional oxtail stew.<\/p>\n

Finish off your food-packed day at Chocolateria San Gines<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>for some churros y chocolate.<\/p>\n
