The Mercado de San Miguel is my favorite spot along the oldest restaurant in the world almost across the street, "Casa Botín", ask for the "Cochinillo", sucklin pig right at the end of its milking period, to die for. If you want to splurge a little more, ask for "Angulas", $$$. Enjoy Madrid is a unique city full of art and gastronomy.

I LOVE mollejas! 15 years ago, on my first visit to Toni's, I asked him what he prefers on his menu. He didn't hesitate to recommend them. I didn't tell my wife, who is a very fussy eater, what it was she was eating( I tasted them first) and she loved them. You're right James, it's a must try. Thanks for another great video.

Hi. My name is Orlando Mergal. I'm from the island of Puerto Rico. My wife and I visited Spain several years ago and we loved it. I've been watching your videos for a while now and it's obvious that you really love what you do. It also occurred to me that this one video in particular must have been filmed over several days, since no one can eat so much in one go. Covid has put a stop to travel for the time being, but thankfully we can explore Spain through your eyes. Thank you for all you do. You're great!!!

[@kidandresu]

About day dinking, you are right. It is a cultural thing and well accepted socially. I am a spaniard and have worked abroad and I have noticed that drinking a beer or a cup of red wine with your lunch is not very common in other countries and can be seen as something inapropiate. In spain however is kind of common to have a little alcohol in daytime just accompanying your food and not ment to get you drunk. In fact. I think most spaniards are quite moderate in their alcohol consumption in comparision with other european countries, for instace England where people get often really drunk, violent and out of control.

I love Madrid and have been there a lot of times, including the last two New Year's. My favourite bar isn't on this list, la Fragua de Vulcano, named after an oil painting by Diego de Velázquezbut it is well worth a visit for the lovely, friendly atmosphere. When you see locals buying carry-out paella you know it's worth a try! My other love is a Vermut in Casa Alberto, another wonderful, old bar and a walk up to Chueca for another Vermut and pickle in Bodega Angel Sierra.

[@spainrevealed]

I'll have to check out La Fragua de Vulcano - thanks David!

[@davidyikent]

@@spainrevealed You should James, and with the original painting by Velázquez about 15 minutes away in the Prado, as well as featuring on their menu and painted on the walls outside, there is plenty to talk about. The food might not be able to meet the criterea of a typical Top Ten bar, but considering you can see Plaza Santa Ana from here, it is not an over-priced tourist trap and the free tapas are hearty and large - a small plate of pollo is not unusual. The menu features much, much more. This is a local, a friendly place where the lack of English spoken by the bar staff and my limited Spanish do not matter, if you are in the bar you are a friend. It just happens to be right in the centre of Madrid and in the centre of most of my evenings out in the city. See you there in early November if all goes to plan!

[@mrickling]

James you've outdone yourself yet again. Super interesting on the tortilla texture! When I first started making them, they would come out exactly like that, but I wasn't so happy with the runny interior. So I started stirring the egg, potato and onion mixture when it first hit the pan, for about 20 - 30 secs or so, and as a result it comes out more cooked through, like the ones you can see in the background at Anciano Rey. Never had the mollejas - def need to try next time I'm in Madrid! Thanks for the video!!!!

[@spainrevealed]

Thanks for your comment! It’s up to personal preference how you like your tortilla consistency. One trick to help get it like this is to leave the egg and potato mixture soaking for a while before cooking.

So, we are the the start of our EPIC trip to Madrid. We landed from Chicago yesterday morning at 7:30 AM. At 9:30 PM we both dropped into bed exhausted, each with 30K steps on our fit bits and bellies bursting. From James' EPIC Madrid Food Tour we hit: 1. El Riojano for chocolate and soletia 2 San Miguel Market (incredible place) for some vermouth on draft, I took the "normal", as there are actualy multiple flavors 3. Casa Revuelta for some bacalao. They also had pork rinds, which I (cuban descent) know as chicharrone and I wanna say the waiter called torresmo? As good as the bacalao. Looking forward to the next 2 weeks for more food and drink as well as hitting the amazing museums within walking distance all over the city. GREAT ADVICE SO FAR JAMES!

[@spainrevealed]

Glad it's going well so far Jose... enjoy the rest of your stay in Madrid! Let us know how you get on :)

[@JoseCastillo-qq3hx]

December 16th, 2018 Breakfast at Cafe Pans. We are still waking up early and there isn't much open. This is a chain but it's pretty good and there is NO WAY I am going to set foot in a Starbucks while I am in Madrid. Lunch at Docamar with our friends Javier and Ilka, wonderful spanish tapas bar with AMAZING paella. Seven stops from the Callao metro 5 station, getting down at Quintana. Ordered paella mixto and paella negra. Here is where things take an unexpected turn. I left my backpack (laptop and all) at Docamar and it was several hours before I realized. We were already walking up the stairs to our hostel when I stopped cold. We quickly grabbed a cab and I called, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD MY BACKPACK AND HAD STORED IT FOR ME. Unbelievable and admirable honesty. A disaster averted and even MORE respect for this city. Dinner at Cardamomo Tablao Flamenco. Unbelievable show, very good tapas, and a bottle of good Riojo (14.50). Excellent way to end the day.

[@sergiolera6426]

Hope you are enjoying your trip to Madrid. Probably the waiter called them "torreznos". However, in Andalucia (south of Spain) they are also called "chicharrones".

Hi JAMES! I saw the video today with you and Mark Waines and you gave him a tour of restaurants in Madrid… it was one of the best food videos/TV shows I’ve ever seen; I live in the United States and my parents grandparents and great grandparents are from Italy; I’m looking forward in the future Traveling to Spain and I was hoping that you can give me a tour of the restaurants like you did with Mark Wiens; your channel is fantastic and I subscribed I just can’t believe how beautiful Spain is….I always knew it was nice but I didn’t know it was spectacular… Looking forward to watching more of your videos keep in touch I consider you a friend and I will let you know in the future when I will be coming to Madrid Spain hopefully I can meet a beautiful woman there… Respectfully Submitted, Jimmy USAF🇺🇸✈️😇✝️👍💜🇨🇮

Going to Madrid for a week in Christmas! Can't wait to try all these places! 😁 I hope not speaking Spanish will not be a hindrance!

No you’ll be fine! Also check out our video about ordering in a Spanish restaurant!

Love your videos in Spain. I visited Spain in 2016 and I loved this country. I'd love to visit it again with my lovely wife and kids and might need the Devour Tours to show us around. So we're hungry for more of your Spain's Videos..

Thank you Saad! I appreciate your comment. Would love to have you and your family on a tour and, if not, see you in one of these places!

"It's never too early to drink alcohol in Spain" -> I always say that If the priest drinks in the morning, it's also good enough for me! :P By the way, great recommendations! I was born and raised in Madrid and didn't know some of these great places!

[@spainrevealed]

Thanks Sergio.... and that sounds like wise advise to me!

[@anairenemartinez165]

Wondering how these people get to know these places Never can't find anything good or special when I visit Madrid or Barcelona.

Como español que soy, debo darte las gracias por la imagen que das de mi tierra, cuando veo que hablas también y con ese entusiasmo pienso que tú también eres español y por mi parte te digo hermano y bienvenido. GRACIAS.

[@dirknow]

Thanks for the video. I’m going to Madrid in two days and I’m so excited,

[@spainrevealed]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed. Have a great time!

[@ShegleyB]

I’m enjoying this video again and realised that I have never thanked you for encouraging me to try the sweetbreads at Casa Toni. I would never normally eat anything Offaly but I really trust you and gave it a go. My husband & I were converted ! We had extra salsa with them and we dream of them now . What a joy to try something new and love it so much - we love the food in Madrid & a lot of what we’ve experienced is down to your enthusiasm . Thank you .
