Food in Madrid that is good enough to eat - La Taperia, en La Plateria Plaza, near the Prado, on Calle del Prado.

Ask Nicci what she thinks of the food here, and you'll get an earful.
In this case, the food was good enough to not only eat, but take a
picture of.

This was taken during the early summer at a La Taperia, en La Plateria
Plaza, near the Prado, on Calle del Prado.

Nicci is eating a nice cold gazpacho with a crostina of bread with
peppers on it, and some olives. Above that is the Tinto de Verano, a
fine spanish drink (Red wine, ice and usually either Limon soda, or
gaseosa bubbly stuff). Yum.

I've got a two tostas (or toasts), one with salmon, and the other with
the famous jamon iberico. Beer too.

Free basket of bread in the back (cost 1.5€)
