Pimientos de padrón. Small green peppers thrown into a deep fryer to soften them up, then sprinkled with salt and served. Pick ‘em up and eat ‘em. Here’s a half ración we split at Melo’s Bar in the Lavapiés neighborhood of Madrid, recommended by Facebook friend and madridleña Indira. “Te puedes pedir unos pimientos de padron y rematar con un vino Albariño gallego, todo eso mientras luchas por un espacio entre la gente; pero vale la pena. Te recomiendo ir temprano, luego pueden caminar por la calle Argumosa, que está cerca y disfrutar de lavapies, uno de los barrios más pintorescos y multiculturales de Madrid.” And while we didn’t try the Albariño wine from Galicia, she was right: angling for a place at the bar was more than worth the effort; it was good to arrive early (opens at 8pm), and our walk down Calle Argumosa made the picturesque and multicultural Lavapiés our favorite neighborhood in Madrid. Muchisimas gracias otra vez, Indi.
