Food

Most restaurants in Madrid have a set menú del día, which is usually a good way to sample many different types of food, as well as being a good bargain. It will generally include an appetizer, bread, a main dish, dessert, and coffee or tea, and is generally only served at lunchtime.

A popular dish in Madrid is anything with pork; especially jamón serrano which is a leg of ham cured and then hung out to dry in the store window. Bacon, longanissa, and chorizo are also consumed in quite heavy numbers as well.

If you have never been to Madrid, or Spain for that matter, you mustknow that the dining schedule is quite different from most American's eating habits. Breakfast is around 9:30; lunch at about 2:30-3 followed by a lengthy siesta, and finally dinner no earlier than 9p.m.
