We just got back from two months in Spain and spent our last few days staying in Madrid and Lavapies. I had notes from having watched this video so was able to enjoy (among other things) the amazing Zapatilla at Melo's and the best patatas bravas we've ever had at La Esperanza. Thanks!

@@spainrevealed hi james have you noticed that they absolutely never devein prawns in spain/madrid, you can go to great bars like el boqueron, la cruz in cascorro etc where they do amazing gambas a la plancha and cook them perfectly but they dont devein them which just means that they taste a bit gritty, i always think its a waste of a great product, but maybe its just personal preference.

A few questions for you, we drink a lot water when we are traveling, will there be easy access to good tap water to fill our own bottles? Also, I have watched many of your videos, and have not seen a lot of fresh produce featured, how is the availability in restaurants in Spain? We certainly don’t want to look too touristy, but we will need some fresh fruit and veggies with all the wonderful meat, seafood and cheese we’re about to DEVOUR! Muchas gracias!

Estupendo vídeo como siempre. Sólo una cosa, en la descripción repetís Los Chuchis y os falta el Melos, con sus "zapatillas y croquetas". Otra cosa...¿No merecería estar aquí la taberna de Antonio Sánchez? Ha perdido algo desde que lo trató de modernizar un nuevo propietario y retiraron cuadros originales que había a la entrada, pero no deja de ser la considerada taberna más antigua de Madrid y tiene mucha pátina todavía. También a los que vivimos en Madrid nos son útiles vuestros vídeos porque recomendáis autenticidad y no trampas para turistas. Gracias.
