La Cazorla Castelló Madrid

Andaluz food in Madrid

Andrea from Madrid

About Me I am a teacher and examiner who made a home in Madrid many years ago. I love live music, art, books, travel, food and dancing and am well served for all my interests in Madrid. I live on a special plane where I exist as an eternal tourist (check out Alain de Botton’s book The Art of Travel) who maintains a sense of wonder in a familiar place. I love showing people round my favourite...
""La Cazorla Castelló" is one of the best Andalucian tapas (plus-sized!) & wine bar in Madrid, and my family's favourite restaurant for a celebration!"

If you want to enjoy great tapas, you either need to head south to Andalucia or find a really good Andaluz restaurant. Let me introduce you to my favourite, La Cazorla. It’s a little corner of the South in the heart of Madrid!

In the bar section, every drink you order is accompanied by a different tapa. Please don't ask for tapas; they are complimentary and the whole point of tapeo is to be surprised each time. At La Cazorla you may be given clams cooked with garlic and white wine, stewed beef, some well-dressed beef tomatoes or potato salad.

La Cazorla is my little family's favourite restaurant for a celebration - I went there on my birthday this year! The raciones (portions) are huge and great for sharing - we usually order a few starters between us. The two large dining rooms are attended by white-jacketed waiters; very old-school Spanish. Bread, olives and fried almonds keep you entertained while you are waiting for your food - warning: there's a cover charge of  for this.

It’s minutes away from the Fundación Juan March too, so you can combine some culture with a delicious lunch!

Museo del Traje

History Through Fashion

The museum is big and every inch of the Museo del Traje is enjoyable, but my favourite part is their magnificent display of traditional Spanish costumes.

Taverna Sacromonte

Wine in Madrid’s Chinatown

"Taverna Sacromonte" is an Andaluz tavern in Usera, Madrid. It feels village-y. Their tapas are great here -- I recommend going there and then for Chinese!

"Caramelos Paco" in Madrid sells sweets - its window display leaves no doubt about that. I love old shops like this, the opposites of one-stop shopping!
