¡Feliz Día de los Reyes! The Feast of the Three Kings is the biggest day for gift-giving in Spain, but the other highlight of the celebration is having some Roscón de Reyes. This one is from Alma Nomad Bakery, which was a bit pricier than those you can get at supermarkets (some do offer decent Roscones), but it was worth it. This day is also considered the last day of the holidays (and over-indulging), so I’m having all the roscón I can have today.

Nachos are some of my favorite things to eat while having a drink. (Not very Spanish, I know.) I had some while at La Cañita Madrid, where I like to go whenever I’m in the Hortaleza area. These were good because there was a lot of guacamole, though a few of the chips were quite hard and un-crunchy. I would have also preferred some other kind of cheese instead of this cheese sauce. The nachos came with beef, which I asked them to remove. I have to confess, I’ve never really met a plate of nachos I didn’t like.

Since Plaza de Olavide was renovated, it’s become even more of a pleasure to have my favorite Spanish breakfast of pan con tomate outdoors.

Airport food is often overpriced and not very tasty but this (indeed overpriced) salmon and cream cheese sandwich at Genuino Cafeteria at Fiumicino Aiport in Rome wasn’t half bad.

If you like octopus and eat at odd hours, you can try La Pulpería. As it’s located in the most touristy area of Madrid the prices are slightly above what you might pay for pulpo at another restaurant. However, one advantage of its location is that the kitchen is open for more hours than usual. We had Pulpo a la Gallega, their version of Ensaladilla Rusa which had bits of octopus, and some zamburiñas (scallops) which were not my favorite because I prefer them more simply prepared.
