Lavapiés puts on its best gastronomic finery on two occasions a year. The most famous, popular and popular is the one that takes place in October: Tapapiés. But as a kind of prolegomenon that says goodbye to spring or anticipates summer, the iconic Madrid neighborhood also celebrates World Tapas Day.
And this year it does so from June 16 to 22 with the participation of 26 bars and restaurants that haveprepared ad hoc an exclusive croquette. The best part? That the croquette is like a bag of Matutano: it has a fixed retail price. And that price is 1,5€.
Participating bars in the World Tapas Day
In exchange for that price you can try croquettes as varied as the one mentioned in the headline (carabineros and leeks) or salmorejo or txangurro a la donostiarra.
