Plaza Mayor

Madrid’s traditional cold cuts are a delicious showcase of the region’s rich culinary heritage. Cebo, a flavorful cured pork, boasts a delicate balance of spices, while lomo, made from marinated pork loin, offers a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Chorizo, with its vibrant paprika-infused flavor, is a staple in Spanish cuisine, adding a smoky kick to any dish. Salsichón, a seasoned salami, rounds out this delectable selection with its robust taste and satisfying texture. Often enjoyed as part of a tapas spread, these cold cuts pair wonderfully with crusty bread and a glass of wine, making them a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
