Who? Me
Food Style? Tapas
A short walk from the massive El Retiro park, this place has a large outdoor area perfect for people watching. I've spent too much time outdoors today, and the sun is ludicrously strong, so I'm sitting in the cooler indoors and I've got an Iberian platter to myself.
To be honest, I went to this other cafe earlier but after I ordered my sangria, I realised they didn't do dinner service. Given that sangria in most places is only €3, I am doing double sangria today. Let's see how badly this turns out.
Mains
Iberian ham and assorted cheese platter
I have in front of me a veritable feast of cured meat, cheese, olives and bread. It's very reminiscent of my Italian food journeys, but the cured meat includes, of course, that peppery Spanish chorizo and that strong, salty Iberico ham. It's very good, brought together by the cheese as well as the olive oil in the bread.
It's a basic meal but it's done the job and I'm quite happy. I probably won't have dessert on the account of the sangria, but I'm quite full anyway. Also not sloshed. I'm feeling good.
