and gambas al ajillo and white asparagus ....
MM, we need an icon that drools in hunger!!!!

That reminds me-Green asparagus "a la plancha" with ali oli and vino Ribeiro at Viña P on the Plaza Santa Ana. And don't forget mussels (con salsa picante) at La Ria in the Pasaje Mathieu.

Pescaito frito almost anywhere in Sevilla!

Please have a big frosty mug of Cruzcampo in a busy placa (I think that's the word) for me.....Jake

Chicago Jake-I have several Cruzcampos in my fridge right now, I will have one tonight but I will also have several (many?) in your stead when I arrive in Spain!

We just made patatas bravas tonight... yum! If you can get to Bar Stop Madrid on Calle Hortaleza in Madrid, virtually any tapas there are great. Simple, yet fantastic...

OK Mongo, I don't want you to have to walk too far,.. so go to Casa del Abuelo II on Calle Nuñez de Arce and get some pimientos fritos for me.

Please say hello to the guys at Hostal Adriano for me.

Our good friends from Madrid were just here in California for a visit. What a great time!!

Lee..GoMadrid

Lee, do you want me to have the 'chato de vino Abuelo' too? No extra charge!

Thanks Mongo, but no chato..that stuff is too sweet for me.

After you have eaten all the tapas, an aguardiente de orujo would be nice.

Chipirones fritos and pimientos de padron - together, if possible! (Have your beer ready!)

I think you'll be there when niscalos are in season. If you see them offered, and haven't tried them before, try them! They're delicious, especially a la plancha with some garlic!
