    As a spanish guy I've to say that you tried the typical touristic places. You should try to travel to the northern part of Spain (Logroño, San Sebastian, Pamplona, Asturias), where you are gonna eat even better and more traditional spanish food. Also Barcelona for mediterranean food, but avoiding at all cost the most touristic places.

    As an Argentinian, now living in Madrid, I thought I knew traditional Spanish food, but when I moved to Madrid, I realised that this was not the case and that Spanish food is as wide and perhaps even better than Italian or French food.
    The difference is that since there are many descendants of Italian and French immigrants (and not so many Spaniards) in the USA, these cuisines enjoy a greater diffusion through the media and American movies and series.
    But it is good that you are able to discover and appreciate Spanish cuisine. I think it is the best in the world.

    MESON is not a "museum", it is kind of traditional restaurant. The name comes from french "maison", and it means "house". So it is like a name for the ancient taberns or houses where travellers could stop, have a rest and eat something. In Spain, you find the more frequently in northern Spain.

My thoughts about the relation with french are because in spanish we have other words completly different for house, while "mansion" refers to a huge house for rich people. In galician the use of meson is very extended, and usually its origin is related to the french pilgrims going to Santiago.

    For adding a little bit of history to the “bocata de calamares”, in case anyone had thought why fish is in a typical dish of a place with no sea. When they were fished in the shore and shipped to madrid, which is in the center of Spain, they weren’t already fresh anymore, so for making it harder for everyone to notice it, they would batter and fry them. Obviously this has changed a lot with refrigerated trucks and it’s not (always) made for this reason any more

    3- The most typical food from Madrid are "cocido madrileño" and "callos a la madrileña", apart from the "bocadillo de calamares" you also showed. If you didn't have them, you have to come back and try them. You won't regret that!

    "They fried the churros with olive oil so it`s healthy!" It had me dying 🤣
    But awesome Guga, most videos that I see covering spanish food, they go blindly or with some weird posh local, but man you got a proper bocadillo de calamares in a proper bar, you also got some setas al ajillo y jamon and torrijas, that is legit.
    Still me being from the south I cannot avoid getting somewhat upset that the concept of tapas people outside get is just the one of these some sort of tapas restaurants. Tapas in 99.99% of places in the south, is a ration just like the ones you`ve seen but those 2 euros or even less in some places is for the beer AND the tapa together, that`s the bar culture at least in the south, you go to drink beer and eat at the same time in equal measure 😁Madrid and Barcelona sure have their charms, but me being the Granada, Malaga and Cadiz lover that I am It just breaks my heart that much attention in the same suspects everytime. Hell, Galicia and the Vasque Country both culinary and culturally speaking are amazeballs and so few times mentioned 😢

    As other Spaniards commented, a lot of food is very "region-specific" so one needs to go to restaurants where they serve their food. Madrid has the perk of having tons of variety, so it's viable to find restaurants of all kinds in one metropolis, if you know how to search.
    Galicias, Asturias-León, País Vasco, Aragón, Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, Murcia, Andalucía, Castilla, Extremadura, Canarias...
    All have their own specific foods that are rarely found on average, outside of some which became popular state-wide (paella, gazpacho, cocido) during periods of political centralism.

    As a spanish, I like you enjoyed Spain. Just want to let you know the spanish food is way more than that. You just tried some "tapas", and not the best, in my opinion. Knowing what kind of food you like, you have to try some different meats properly cooked, like the galician cow, the asturian cow or the retinta cow. Best places to try spanish meat are in the north of Spain, but you can find very good ones in all the country. Very different to wagyu, but still very tasty if you know how to cook it.
    Talking about meats, you should try our lamb (paletilla de cordero al horno de leña), or the "lechón" (little pork). That is incrdeible.
    In the other hand, fish and seafood. You can find the best seafood here in Spain. Usually you will find that prawns are smaller than in the United States, but very more tasty. If you can, try "gamba de Huelva", "langostino de Sanlucar", "gamba roja de Palamós".
    I can't talk about different fish, there are plenty of them, but man, I know your channel, I know what you like, please give a chance to the "wild red tuna" the one that is fished in the Strait (of Gibraltar), there in Cadiz. You will be amazed, try these cuts "morrillo", "ventresca" and "tarantelo", they are so tasty and fatty that you will think you are having meat.
    And, hey, I know you like cheese too, but I think I should stop 😅

    Just a couple of notes.... Churros can be fried in olive or sunflower oil. And the "Salsa Brava" can be made with tomato, or without tomato... (I prefer the one that is not tomato based)
