Peyma is one of those traditional bars in Lavapiés that has been able to conquer both lifelong neighbors and illustrious visitors, including Queen Letizia, who according to the newspaper El Español stopped in 2022 on its terrace to enjoy its famous croquettes. The escapades of the kings of Spain in Malasaña, were common at the beginning of his reign, but this bar is usually off the radar of the usual followers of the royals.
The place, located at 39 Embajadores street, has a menu of traditional Spanish cuisine, where the fried food is generally excellent. Queen Letizia went in the company of a friend and ordered a portion of cuttlefish and croquettes of the house, considered one of the great attractions of the bar. In fact, although the Queen’s diet has given rise to much speculation, because she is supposedly very strict about what she eats, Peyma served her the most common tapas, without much peculiarity.
