Try the cocido madrileno, only cooked at lunchtime and very busy at the weekends. You will have to take a long walk afterwards and maybe not eat anything more for 24hrs!

A mug of thick hot bitter chocolate served with churros (long fingers of deep fried dough). Pure indulgence. Lovely.

A local speciality I believe. To be found in most cafes and possibly tapas bars and pubs

Typical local bar - great selection of European beers and the best Patatas Bravas in Madrid! Head down at dusk on a warm summer's evening to soak up the traditional Madrid atmosphere. There are dozens of tapas bars lining the street facing the park, and often buskers providing a bit of live music.

On the corner of Calle de Valmojado and Calle Illescas (Parque de Aluche), Aluche; nearest metro: Aluche/ Campamento
