As a visitor, you will find many variants of this kind, even though the most common one is ham.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-21131\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/croquetas-465x620.jpg\" alt=\"croquetas, croquettes\" width=\"465\" height=\"620\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about this tapa is that it comes in different flavors such as spinach, wild mushroom and cheese. Better yet, you may opt to have a combination of all of the above.<\/p>\n<h3>Berenjenas con miel (Eggplants with honey)<\/h3>\n<p>If you are only used to eating eggplants with other dishes, then you should try this classic serving of tapa. The eggplants are thinly sliced and can be buttered or dusted in flour. Next, they are flash-fried using olive oil and later drizzled with honey. The honey used in this dish is molasses, referred to as cane honey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-21133\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/berenjenas-con-miel-620x413.jpg\" alt=\"Berenjenas con miel, Eggplants with honey\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Tortilla de patatas (Potato omelet)<\/h3>\n<p>It is quite common for most visitors in Madrid to try this dish. Tortilla De Patata consists of eggs, potatoes and onions. It is a simple, delicious and veggie-friendly dish that will catalyse your taste buds for more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21134 size-large\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/tortilla-de-patata-620x465.jpg\" alt=\"Tortilla de patata, Potato omelet\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Queso (Cheese)<\/h3>\n<p>Queso is not only a popular vegetarian tapa in Madrid, but they also hold it in high regard. You can choose from various options since the tapas range from Roncal, which is from sheep\u2019s milk, Manchego, which is salted and cured, and Cabrales, which is a blend of goat\u2019s and cow\u2019s milk.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-21135\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/queso-620x413.jpg\" alt=\"Queso, cheese\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Pimientos de Padr\u00f3n (Fried Green Peppers)<\/h3>\n<p>These are small green peppers from Galicia. They\u2019re simply fried in olive oil and add sea salt. It will be best to remember that most peppers are mild, but 10% are very spicy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-21136\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pimientos-de-padron-620x465.jpg\" alt=\"Pimientos de padron, Fried Green Peppers\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Patatas bravas<\/h3>\n<p>When in Madrid, you will notice that the locals are quite fond of potatoes. Thus, the best way to enjoy these tapas is by slicing them into small pieces, frying them and devouring them in paprika sauce that is slightly spiced. If you prefer to eat them when boiled, you will also have that option.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-21137\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/patatas-bravas-465x620.jpg\" alt=\"Patatas bravas\" width=\"465\" height=\"620\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Aceitunas (Olives)<\/h3>\n<p>Olives are a Spanish product with more than 260 varieties. The typical olive in Madrid is the local variety Campo Real, green in color, very bright with a touch of oregano and garlic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-21138\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/aceitunas-620x413.jpg\" alt=\"aceitunas, olives\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Huevos rotos (fried eggs and potatoes)<\/h3>\n<p>Broken eggs is another of the most typical dishes in Madrid. It consists of serving on a plate over a cover of fried potatoes, with the yolk of the egg&#8217;s liquid. When the waiter brings the dish, he breaks the eggs with a fork. This dish has several versions, such as adding meat, chorizo or cured ham.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to stay in Madrid<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to take any risk when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotels-in-madrid\"><strong>choosing hotels in Madrid<\/strong><\/a>, we recommend you to stay in one of the following hotels:<\/p>\n<h3>Catalonia Atocha<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotel\/catalonia-atocha\"><strong>Catalonia Atocha Hotel<\/strong><\/a> is located in the middle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/blog\/where-to-stay-in-madrid-for-the-first-time\/\">Madrid<\/a>, just a few meters from Atocha Railway Station and Paseo del Prado.
