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.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
