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.

But it is good that you are able to discover and appreciate Spanish cuisine. I think it is the best in the world.

As half Spanish half German, I would say Spanish cuisine is the best one in the world. I was born and grew up -and live, in Spain. This is nice country full of great people, and awesome food :)
@@maurizioporcu5429 its because italian food is famous in América becuse a lot of italians went there to scape economic crisis... i have been to itali and loved food, but i think spanish is just better. But you are italian and its normal to think yours is better. Come to spain and try some, it think you will like it
I always watch what they cook: Paella (rice with stuff in it), Jamón Iberico, Tortilla de patatas (egg and potatoes), tapas (bread with something on it) and it sounds really boring. But yeah, Guga gives it all the hype that Spanish food deserves
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.
@@astartes1213 I think that they all have a common origin, from latin of course. 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.
People around the world tend to not add as much sugar into deserts as people are used to in the North America. As someone from the Old World who now lives in Canada, I find it hard to even eat deserts there, cause everything is too sweet. It’s interesting that Guga experiences the opposite in Europe
I'm italian, I've been in the usa and sweets are literally not edible for my taste, there is a ton of sugar. And also the sauces are full of sugar. And they also drink soft drink, full of sugar again, when they eat. It's the unhealthiest way of eating I've ever experienced, sugars and fats eveywhere. On the other hand the bbq is fantastic.
Spanish here, I suscribe, I love your energy and how respectfully and joyfully you treat food. I want to recommend to you going through other parts of Spain that aren't that touristic and trying the real thing, I mean, each part of spain has its own cuisine and it is even curious for us to discover new dishes from our own country. Cordoba and Granada are lovely, pretty and food is crazy delicious.

This video is amazing!! As a born and raised person from Madrid I really appreciate the respect and recognition you gave to everything, and the effort you put into pronouncing every word correctly, such a joy to watch you enjoy our food!!
As another spanish guy, shout out to that pronunciation!!!! It's so beautiful to see this kind of honest appreciation for the culture, food and also well pronounced in order to share it the best way possible. Thanks a lot!
As they have already commented, you have gone to touristic places to eat, and it is kind of hard to resume eating spanish food in only one day. Each autonomous community has its specialities and even provinces and villages have differences. But, being objective, the best food is found in the north of Spain. I think quality wise the best is found in Euskadi and quality-price wise in the province of Lugo. Hope you do some routes in the north of Spain soon, you won’t be disappointed
siendo objetivos yo te podria decir q la mejor comida esta en el sur... que he comido bien en euskadi y en galicia??' si, pero macho decir q la del norte es mejor q el sur.. es bastante discutible
@@Topaikov como? Loco, cualquier cocinero te lo puede decir, en el norte se come muchísimo mejor y nos referimos también a restaurantes, en el sur es todo congelado y frito, tienes que irte a un buen restaurante para comer bien, en el norte, cualquier antro vas a comer de maravilla, y no lo decimos nosotros, lo dice cualquiera, en el norte hay más cultura de comer como en el sur hay más cultura de socializar, cada uno tiene lo suyo, es como si yo te discuto que la gente del norte es más sociable que la del sur, es ridículo, puta es lo mismo, la gente de España que no sea el norte no gasta dinero en comer ni en la bolsa de la compra, solo hay que ver la diferencia en los supermercados
@@Topaikov Soy de Ka Rioja y mi madre es andaluza. Soy comercial y vuajo por toda España. La comida de Euskadi está muy por encima de la del sur, y la gallega es la mejor en calidad/precio, tal como indica. Estoy de acuerdo.
And if you want to enjoy Spanish gastronomy, don't just visit Madrid. Visit Galicia and Asturias for the seafood and the "cachopo" or the "chuletón". Extremadura for the best "Jamón Ibérico", Andalusia for fish among other things... and the entire Mediterranean coast to try good "Paellas" "alliolis" "Escudellas" "canelons", etc... A gastronomic tour of the peninsula , it can't take you less than a couple of months... xD
if you come to Galicia, in Spain, you´ll gonna hallucinate with our food. I invite you to try our gastronomy based on seafood and fishes, but with very good meat raised in the Galician fields too!
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
@@rosab8026dime cuanto te costó la ración y te diré si eran calamares o pota. Y no me digas que allí son más baratos porque el que los pesca sabe lo que le pagan.
The good thing about spain is that the gastronomy changes abruptly from north to south or from East to West. ¡If I were you I would definitely travel to castilla la mancha and give it a try!
So glad to see you enjoying my city Guga!! Those little fish tapas from Mercado de San Miguel (the little toasts with caviar on top) have become one of my go-to everytime I go there (the oysters are also amazing). Its just funny to see one of your favorite youtubers eating somewhere you've been a thousand times 😅😅
Spanish food is delicious. I went to Barcelona a few years ago and it was awesome, & highly recommend the city and it's a lovely country to visit. I had the Chorizos & potato too at a bar next to our hotel and it was so delicious. I've had chorizo here in the UK and it's just not the same. I wouldn't mind going back and probably will one day as it's not that expensive of a holiday from here (I just have other travelling plans).
dont go to Barcelona, that city is turned 180º upside down, the place is turned into a shithole, lots of Moroccan gangs targeting tourists and regular people, beating people up for nothing.
I'm from Madrid and I have 3 things to say about this video: 1- Extraordinary short and fast paced video with a very good selection of our food. 2- El Escarpin and its food and drink (sidra, cabrales, tortos, chorizo a la sidra) it's not typical of Madrid, but from a northern area of Spain called Asturias, with awesome gastronomy (fabada, judiones con almejas, etc) 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! P.S.- Your spanish is not that bad, but you may improve it in further visits. Thanks for the video @Guga
"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 😢
Que se ha ido al centro, si se viene a Vallekas o Arganzuela es igual que en Ecija. A todos estos les pasa lo mismo, y no les falta la visita al mercado de San Miguel en Sol, una autentica trampa para guiris.
When i went to Madrid this christmas, we had an airbnb directly over that churro place and it was ALWAYS busy! You could hear and see people even at 5am
my man guga made it to my mother's home town! I am SO GLAD you made it to Spain, Spanish cuisine is rich by both history and ingredients, sometimes very close to Italian, french and greek cuisine also. If you ever come by again, do please let me know! I work in hospitality services and I know great places both in Salamanca and Santander, for those meat lovers that you guys are haha
Rule no.1: when visiting a country for its food, do NOT go to the capitals. They're full of touristic cash grabs that lack the traditional flavor kick on their dishes
You're right. 8n Spain, the good and real Spanish food, skip Madrid and Barcelona. Though... Madrid has a lot of great food, because big parts of Madrid is mainly people from Madrid and Spain, fewer foreign tourists
Madrid is not a particularly touristic city by Spanush standards. It also has the best food in Spain. You just have to know where to go and avoid the (tiny) center where the tourists are.
Sugar to churros con chocolate LOOOOOL I expected him to go to the typical tourist traps but El Escarpín is such a nice Asturian restaurant indeed! Glad you enjoyed the visit, next time pick León, Granada, Donosti... those are the greatest places in this country to eat (being this said by a madrileño, indeed...)
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.
Lovely to see you try food from all over the country in Madrid! The ibérico ham place is from Salamanca, the cider restaurant from Asturias and the mushrooms are typical of La Rioja.
these are good examples, for sure, but you can also find lot of premium iberic hams from andalucia, the cider is also really tipical in guipuzcoa (bask country) and mushrooms is famous in all Spain, Specially in the north side (not only in la Rioja). Greentings from bask country!
@@tagachimmo there are many wines and many ciders in the country, each one with its particularities. Anyway, we are not talking about the best but about tipical products and costumes. In the basque country the culture of driking cider is very diferent respect asturias. Both are good enough to take them into account. It is as if i would say that basque country food is better than asturian just because it has more fame... I'd preffer say they are just different.
guga's guide: this is how you drink cider guga: I will ignore everything you say and do the opposite Also guga: I dont like cider Com'on man, at least try it how you are supposed to have it before you say you dont like it!!
Nah, the taste wouldn't change by pouring too much, it's just that it would be impossible to drink it in one go so only the first sip would be good. I assume that he tried more that that glass.
@@tasorodri it changes in fact XD, that's the reason that exist that machines called "escanciadores", cause that's not the same drink it in little sips with oxygen inside or larger sips without oxygen. Think about beer, is it the same when it is cold than when it is hot?
As a person from here in Spain I can tell you that every part of the country have their different gastronomy, in my case, in canary Islands we have some very good restaurants that we call "Guachinches" where we serve affordable meals with lots of flavor. You can also go to the north part of the country, places like Asturias or Galicia have a very good amount of heavy but tasty foods and you can go to the south part too, the andalucian people sure know how to make good and very tasty food. Hope you enjoy it!
Hi guga, cant wait for you to come to Portugal! Best gastronomy in the world. Youll love the francesinha, all the cod dishes, the pastel de nata, the presunto, rojões, bifanas, tripas à moda do Porto, carne à alentejana.... Everything is awesome here
I'm from Toronto and I've been living in Madrid for 6 years...I would have gladly given you a MUCH better food tour of Madrid. The food here is amazing but you tried the tourist trap places.
There are no real "tourist traps" in Madrid. All these places are fairly decent. Of course, if a restaurant is located in Plaza Mayor, they have to charge more simply because the rent there is higher. You're not just paying for the food, but also for the scenery.
As a citizen of Madrid, I want to tell you that it's a shame the video was so short. Although I understand that to try all the typical foods, you would need many days and several videos. It's been a pleasure to have you as a visitor in this wonderful city that always welcomes foreign tourists with open arms.
Listen, your friend is a criminal not taking you to try the original tortilla DE PATATAS. You might be thinking the spanish omelette is overrated but it's about to experiment the techniques to enjoy how passionated spaniards are with 😜
I like how he presents some restaurant-specific stuff like "regalito de toro" as some universal dish from Spanish cuisine, while it's literally something invented by that restaurant and which no one here ever ate... ... And then he goes to have dinner at an Asturian restaurant and spends half the video eating solely Asturian food, which super-specific to that region, lmao. That's Spanish food, people!
Bro es un video de menos de 10min de un guiri comiendo, no va a comerse todos los platos típicos ni va a ser el 739292 que coma paella y tortilla. Aparte el rabo de toro no es específico, la tapa sí.
Hi Guga, now that you are in spain you should go try the beef of el capricho, one of the best in the world. For many, way better than wagyu in terms of taste. Have a good trip!
Guga this video was amazing. As a spaniard myself I would recomend you to visit Segovia, is a city not far from Madrid and the food is amazing. Its also a beautiful city
im from spain, he didnt try the top 3 best dishes, croquetas ( croquetas de cocido, croquetas de jamon, croquetas de boletus--- etc etc) obviously home made croquetas not freezed industrial ones also the rices, lot of different rice dishes such as paella, arroz de bogavante, arroz de coneja, arroz de pulpo etc and the most important thing, the meat, spanish Rubia gallega is one of the best pieces of meat u can find around the world, and its super tender and rich of beef flavour, he didnt try the most popoular and best dishes in the video, its sad
hermano que está en madrid no en valencia o en el norte, tendria que probar los soldaditos de pavia, callos, gallinejas, entresijos, bocata de calamatres..... no arroz o carne de vaca
Thanks for coming to Madrid, I hope you enjoyed your stay here. I have to say is funny how you tone it down being in public, you look so classy. The sidra bit got me, better is more, showing the USA colours :)
No way you came to Spain omg. Please think about staying here for a longer time and trying all the spanish gastronomy cuz it's amazing and you wont regret!
that was a really good shot at spanish food. I only missed a good paella, a spanish tortilla and, as you were in madrid, the "cocido" is another holy grail.
Being a meat lover yourself, the next time you come to Spain you have to go to "El Capricho" in León. It's said to be one of the best places in the world (some say the best) to eat meat.
if you really wanna try the best spanish gastronomy, i highly recommend other places than Madrid like Galicia and Andalucia, in my opinion the best locations of Spain to try the best food of all ;)
@@MattyPraps1234 It's dramatic haha altho in Amsterdam you have the Most cultures from all over the world. Never realised that I should go out to taste all those beautiful dishes which are probably being sold in Amsterdam.
Super glad you enjoyed Madrid and its amazing food!! As a recommendation, you should REALLY travel to anywhere in Northern Spain (regions near the Cantabric coast, basically) and try the food and drinks. I promise you're gonna LOVE it. Greetings from San Sebastián!!!
We were in Madrid this week and I was so excited to try your food recommendations. The bocadillos de calamares at bar la campaña are fantastic. To anyone who goes, make sure to get the red sauce and lemon on the side.
I spent about 24 hours in Madrid in January (a side trip from my main stay in Barcelona) and this makes me want to go back so bad. I made the mistake of going to Mercado de San Miguel around lunchtime on a Friday. I'd love to spend more time and take it a little slower than trying to see as much as possible in 1 day (I walked over 40,000 steps that day).
Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos. After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos: - Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef. - How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ? - Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide. And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)
Next time you came to Spain try to go to the north region, Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and Pais Vasco, crazy big rations and the best food you can eat!!!
The best option you choose in your entire trip was the official guide of CEFAPIT 😊😊 Impossible to make a mistake with us! Thank u Guga! Cheers from Granada! Hope to see you here!
Dude, you should go to France! They are the kings of modern western cooking. They take their salt and butter very seriously and judging from your videos, that should be right up your alley. 😊 And you did not taste bread until you’ve gone to a french boulangerie. Its really special. You could take the opportunity to team up with fellow food youtuber Alex for a collab. Im sure he’d love to learn about your steakmaking techniques. Im not french myself but credit where credit is due.
Dude Guga, coming from a spaniard: you really got the hang of the pronunciation! Really, really good! Don't let Dani the guide make fun of you for that hahaha
You have to bring the family and go "100 MONTADITOS" GUGA to eat as many tapas as you want. Also come to Cantabria in the North and have some "Cocido Montañes", Cantabrian villages are famous their restaurants serving huge portions, I'm sure you will like it, try Sobarzo village for example (restaurante "La Yerbita"), and you can drive into Cabarceno Zoo with your family afterwards. Santander is the capital of Cantabria and has lots of options too, i like ("Restaurante Mesón Los Arcos").
Nice video!! Enjoy Spain!! By the way, the girl who was telling you 'no more no more' at minute 4:52 is normal for her to tell you, you have spoiled the cider, you only have to hold it once and drink the little that is already in the glass, without giving it again, it is drunk sip by sip, but the process of ''encanciar'' is useless.
And you didn't even try the most classical dishes! Cocido madrileño, potaje, croquetas, and a ton of other traditional dishes. Each region in Spain has a really huge diversity of dishes.
I hope you tasted more things than the ones in the video! You have to try croquetas, ensaladilla, flamenquin, etc and for sure to go to a more modern take on tapas to try the new trends!
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 😅
Every region of Spain has great food: Cider houses in Basque Country and Asturias are great, roasted lamb from Burgos, roasted piglet from Segovia, octopus and zamburiñas and many other seafood from Galicia, paella and other rice dishes from Valencia. The list is HUGE.
I'm glad you enjoyed our food! Now, for the next time you visit us again, I suggest you take a trip through the south of Spain, like Sevilla, Málaga, Cádiz, etc. The food is really different, and you will try many different things. Also, the north of Spain is incredible, with amazing meat and cheese, traditional dishes, and much more. It's a never-ending experience!
"My Spanish is not that good" Sir, your pronounciation is spot on when you use the "r"s. I really hope you can travel to the Basque Country, you'll love the gastronomy there.
I recommended you visiting Europe in many comments because I was sure you would love the food. Since you are already in Madrid visit some more of Spain like Valencia or more countries like France or Italy

This video is amazing!! As a born and raised person from Madrid I really appreciate the respect and recognition you gave to everything, and the effort you put into pronouncing every word correctly, such a joy to watch you enjoy our food!!
As another spanish guy, shout out to that pronunciation!!!! It's so beautiful to see this kind of honest appreciation for the culture, food and also well pronounced in order to share it the best way possible. Thanks a lot!
Guga is just the happiest, friendliest and polite guy.
As they have already commented, you have gone to touristic places to eat, and it is kind of hard to resume eating spanish food in only one day. Each autonomous community has its specialities and even provinces and villages have differences. But, being objective, the best food is found in the north of Spain. I think quality wise the best is found in Euskadi and quality-price wise in the province of Lugo. Hope you do some routes in the north of Spain soon, you won’t be disappointed
Le ha faltado el 100 Montaditos 😂
siendo objetivos yo te podria decir q la mejor comida esta en el sur... que he comido bien en euskadi y en galicia??' si, pero macho decir q la del norte es mejor q el sur.. es bastante discutible
@@Topaikov como? Loco, cualquier cocinero te lo puede decir, en el norte se come muchísimo mejor y nos referimos también a restaurantes, en el sur es todo congelado y frito, tienes que irte a un buen restaurante para comer bien, en el norte, cualquier antro vas a comer de maravilla, y no lo decimos nosotros, lo dice cualquiera, en el norte hay más cultura de comer como en el sur hay más cultura de socializar, cada uno tiene lo suyo, es como si yo te discuto que la gente del norte es más sociable que la del sur, es ridículo, puta es lo mismo, la gente de España que no sea el norte no gasta dinero en comer ni en la bolsa de la compra, solo hay que ver la diferencia en los supermercados
@@Topaikov Soy de Ka Rioja y mi madre es andaluza. Soy comercial y vuajo por toda España. La comida de Euskadi está muy por encima de la del sur, y la gallega es la mejor en calidad/precio, tal como indica. Estoy de acuerdo.

And if you want to enjoy Spanish gastronomy, don't just visit Madrid. Visit Galicia and Asturias for the seafood and the "cachopo" or the "chuletón". Extremadura for the best "Jamón Ibérico", Andalusia for fish among other things... and the entire Mediterranean coast to try good "Paellas" "alliolis" "Escudellas" "canelons", etc... A gastronomic tour of the peninsula , it can't take you less than a couple of months... xD
In aragón lives almost all the cuisine with fried eggs
Asturias food is insane, I just can't 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
And Basque Country for amazing meat, seafood and fish and top-cuisine (Arzak, Berasategui, Narru among dozens more michelin restaurants)
@@johnwatkinsjr2878 also Basque 'pintxos' (I think that's how they're spelled, I'm not a native speaker) are famous
As a Spanish person, I'm glad you liked Madrid. If you want to eat well, be sure to go to the north of Spain as well. Galicia, Asturias Cantabria
if you come to Galicia, in Spain, you´ll gonna hallucinate with our food. I invite you to try our gastronomy based on seafood and fishes, but with very good meat raised in the Galician fields too!

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
The biggest fresh fish market in Spain is in Madrid. Huge market for restaurants hotels etc
...nada que ver comerte unos calamares a la romana en Cudillero, en el puerto, que en Madrid, créeme ...nada, pero absolutamente nada que ver.....
@@rosab8026hombre, obviamente
Pero que plato tan banal... Un bocadillo con calamares. Orgullo de Madrid....
@@rosab8026dime cuanto te costó la ración y te diré si eran calamares o pota.
Y no me digas que allí son más baratos porque el que los pesca sabe lo que le pagan.
The good thing about spain is that the gastronomy changes abruptly from north to south or from East to West. ¡If I were you I would definitely travel to castilla la mancha and give it a try!

So glad to see you enjoying my city Guga!! Those little fish tapas from Mercado de San Miguel (the little toasts with caviar on top) have become one of my go-to everytime I go there (the oysters are also amazing). Its just funny to see one of your favorite youtubers eating somewhere you've been a thousand times 😅😅
que grande guga
Guga: dumps sugar into chocolate. Also Guga: I'm not a sweet person.

Spanish food is delicious. I went to Barcelona a few years ago and it was awesome, & highly recommend the city and it's a lovely country to visit. I had the Chorizos & potato too at a bar next to our hotel and it was so delicious. I've had chorizo here in the UK and it's just not the same. I wouldn't mind going back and probably will one day as it's not that expensive of a holiday from here (I just have other travelling plans).
dont go to Barcelona, that city is turned 180º upside down, the place is turned into a shithole, lots of Moroccan gangs targeting tourists and regular people, beating people up for nothing.
I love Barcelona but it’s way too touristic to eat well easily. Andalusia and the north are way better.
Spain my favorite country in the world all time from Armenia 🇦🇲❤️🇪🇸✝️🙏
I'm from Madrid and I have 3 things to say about this video:
1- Extraordinary short and fast paced video with a very good selection of our food.
2- El Escarpin and its food and drink (sidra, cabrales, tortos, chorizo a la sidra) it's not typical of Madrid, but from a northern area of Spain called Asturias, with awesome gastronomy (fabada, judiones con almejas, etc)
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!
P.S.- Your spanish is not that bad, but you may improve it in further visits. Thanks for the video @Guga
"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 😢
Que se ha ido al centro, si se viene a Vallekas o Arganzuela es igual que en Ecija. A todos estos les pasa lo mismo, y no les falta la visita al mercado de San Miguel en Sol, una autentica trampa para guiris.
@@mucagamers7405 Va a ir a Vallecas a que le roben, si.
@@mucagamers7405 Vallecas es mil veces peor... he estado allí
When i went to Madrid this christmas, we had an airbnb directly over that churro place and it was ALWAYS busy! You could hear and see people even at 5am
my man guga made it to my mother's home town! I am SO GLAD you made it to Spain, Spanish cuisine is rich by both history and ingredients, sometimes very close to Italian, french and greek cuisine also.
If you ever come by again, do please let me know! I work in hospitality services and I know great places both in Salamanca and Santander, for those meat lovers that you guys are haha
I am very happy to see how you enjoyed it, come back whenever you want
Rule no.1: when visiting a country for its food, do NOT go to the capitals. They're full of touristic cash grabs that lack the traditional flavor kick on their dishes
Nah, not Madrid -mostly. You've clearly never been to, and if you did you had no guide or got a really bad one.
You're right. 8n Spain, the good and real Spanish food, skip Madrid and Barcelona. Though... Madrid has a lot of great food, because big parts of Madrid is mainly people from Madrid and Spain, fewer foreign tourists
Madrid is not a particularly touristic city by Spanush standards. It also has the best food in Spain. You just have to know where to go and avoid the (tiny) center where the tourists are.
@@alexiveperez4687 "the best food in Spain" hahahahhahahahhahahahhahaha
@@alexiveperez4687Madrid is widely visited by international tourist, we have one of the most visited museums in the world. Museo del Prado.
La cocina española es muy variada, depende a que región del país vayas te vas a encontrar una cocina muy distinta.
exactamente, pero los extranjeros tienden a ir siempre a los sitios turísticos y olvidan que hay más ciudades aparte de Madrizz
Sugar to churros con chocolate LOOOOOL I expected him to go to the typical tourist traps but El Escarpín is such a nice Asturian restaurant indeed! Glad you enjoyed the visit, next time pick León, Granada, Donosti... those are the greatest places in this country to eat (being this said by a madrileño, indeed...)
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.
Im from spain and i can say that you should try tortilla de patata, its a must to try if you go to spain
yes theyre so good
Lovely to see you try food from all over the country in Madrid! The ibérico ham place is from Salamanca, the cider restaurant from Asturias and the mushrooms are typical of La Rioja.
these are good examples, for sure, but you can also find lot of premium iberic hams from andalucia, the cider is also really tipical in guipuzcoa (bask country) and mushrooms is famous in all Spain, Specially in the north side (not only in la Rioja). Greentings from bask country!
@@mariar.6741
That restaurant was Asturian.
And Basque cider is of worse quality than Asturian.
@@tagachimmo there are many wines and many ciders in the country, each one with its particularities. Anyway, we are not talking about the best but about tipical products and costumes. In the basque country the culture of driking cider is very diferent respect asturias. Both are good enough to take them into account. It is as if i would say that basque country food is better than asturian just because it has more fame... I'd preffer say they are just different.
guga's guide: this is how you drink cider
guga: I will ignore everything you say and do the opposite
Also guga: I dont like cider
Com'on man, at least try it how you are supposed to have it before you say you dont like it!!
Nah, the taste wouldn't change by pouring too much, it's just that it would be impossible to drink it in one go so only the first sip would be good. I assume that he tried more that that glass.
@@tasorodri it changes in fact XD, that's the reason that exist that machines called "escanciadores", cause that's not the same drink it in little sips with oxygen inside or larger sips without oxygen.
Think about beer, is it the same when it is cold than when it is hot?
@@TheCaonic only germans drink warm beer lmao
As a person from here in Spain I can tell you that every part of the country have their different gastronomy, in my case, in canary Islands we have some very good restaurants that we call "Guachinches" where we serve affordable meals with lots of flavor.
You can also go to the north part of the country, places like Asturias or Galicia have a very good amount of heavy but tasty foods and you can go to the south part too, the andalucian people sure know how to make good and very tasty food.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi guga, cant wait for you to come to Portugal! Best gastronomy in the world. Youll love the francesinha, all the cod dishes, the pastel de nata, the presunto, rojões, bifanas, tripas à moda do Porto, carne à alentejana.... Everything is awesome here
Not to mention the morcela, alheira, chouriço, salpicão, paio, all the queijo da serra...

Chocolates San Gines 10/10, as a madrilian that was the greatest start you could have done for the video.
I'm from Toronto and I've been living in Madrid for 6 years...I would have gladly given you a MUCH better food tour of Madrid. The food here is amazing but you tried the tourist trap places.
There are no real "tourist traps" in Madrid. All these places are fairly decent. Of course, if a restaurant is located in Plaza Mayor, they have to charge more simply because the rent there is higher. You're not just paying for the food, but also for the scenery.
As a citizen of Madrid, I want to tell you that it's a shame the video was so short. Although I understand that to try all the typical foods, you would need many days and several videos. It's been a pleasure to have you as a visitor in this wonderful city that always welcomes foreign tourists with open arms.
Listen, your friend is a criminal not taking you to try the original tortilla DE PATATAS. You might be thinking the spanish omelette is overrated but it's about to experiment the techniques to enjoy how passionated spaniards are with 😜
Im happy to see you enjoyed my city. In the Anciano Rey de los vinos, you shoulda ordered breaded mushrooms with aioli. They are sooo gooood🤤
As a person from Spain, so happy to hear that you've enjoyed
I like how he presents some restaurant-specific stuff like "regalito de toro" as some universal dish from Spanish cuisine, while it's literally something invented by that restaurant and which no one here ever ate...
... And then he goes to have dinner at an Asturian restaurant and spends half the video eating solely Asturian food, which super-specific to that region, lmao. That's Spanish food, people!
Bro es un video de menos de 10min de un guiri comiendo, no va a comerse todos los platos típicos ni va a ser el 739292 que coma paella y tortilla. Aparte el rabo de toro no es específico, la tapa sí.
Hi Guga, now that you are in spain you should go try the beef of el capricho, one of the best in the world. For many, way better than wagyu in terms of taste. Have a good trip!
Guga this video was amazing. As a spaniard myself I would recomend you to visit Segovia, is a city not far from Madrid and the food is amazing. Its also a beautiful city
As a Spanish guy, I'm happy that Spain is known for the Mediterranean diet, you could try the wine and the olive oil. Both are the best
im from spain, he didnt try the top 3 best dishes, croquetas ( croquetas de cocido, croquetas de jamon, croquetas de boletus--- etc etc) obviously home made croquetas not freezed industrial ones
also the rices, lot of different rice dishes such as paella, arroz de bogavante, arroz de coneja, arroz de pulpo etc
and the most important thing, the meat, spanish Rubia gallega is one of the best pieces of meat u can find around the world, and its super tender and rich of beef flavour, he didnt try the most popoular and best dishes in the video, its sad
paella en madrid es una broma, bien q no la probo allí
Y la Tortilla tampoco puede faltar
He probably has another video coming, I doubt he spend only 1 day in Spain
hermano que está en madrid no en valencia o en el norte, tendria que probar los soldaditos de pavia, callos, gallinejas, entresijos, bocata de calamatres..... no arroz o carne de vaca
La paella solo la hacen buena en la Comunidad Valenciana, que una vez en Andalucía vi a uno haciendo una jodida paella picante, asquerosa.
As a steak guy, you should visit the north of Spain. After trying it, chuleton is my favorite steak dish ever.
Thanks for coming to Madrid, I hope you enjoyed your stay here. I have to say is funny how you tone it down being in public, you look so classy. The sidra bit got me, better is more, showing the USA colours :)
The delicious looking local foods in this video captivate my attention and make me wish to visit the same place.😀👍👍
Madrid is spectacular! I would have recommended going to La Tasqueria. By far one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life!
Guga, your spanish has an amazing accent! There is nothing that can unite more all spaniards that someone enjoying their food
No way you came to Spain omg. Please think about staying here for a longer time and trying all the spanish gastronomy cuz it's amazing and you wont regret!
Muchas gracias al guia que le ha llevado a sitios de verdad y que haya probado todo, una verdadera maquina
that was a really good shot at spanish food. I only missed a good paella, a spanish tortilla and, as you were in madrid, the "cocido" is another holy grail.
Here in Spain we do gastronomic tourism because no matter where you go of spain you always have something good to try
That restaurant, el escarpín, serves typical food from a region on the north coast called Asturias. You need to visit that region!
Being a meat lover yourself, the next time you come to Spain you have to go to "El Capricho" in León. It's said to be one of the best places in the world (some say the best) to eat meat.
if you really wanna try the best spanish gastronomy, i highly recommend other places than Madrid like Galicia and Andalucia, in my opinion the best locations of Spain to try the best food of all ;)
and catalonia too, but not barcelona, in Barcelona if you don't know where to go they'll sell you bad quality for high price
As a proud Spaniard I'm glad you've tried our traditional cuisine, but next time try tortilla de patata
I just came back from Spain, and I can confirm it is freaking dealicious.
Exactly the reason why I moved to Spain from Netherlands, The food here is so, so, so much better than all the tasteless food in Holland!
I moved to the Netherlands from Canada this year and its true, the Dutch are good at many things but food is certainly not one of them!
@@MattyPraps1234 It's dramatic haha altho in Amsterdam you have the Most cultures from all over the world. Never realised that I should go out to taste all those beautiful dishes which are probably being sold in Amsterdam.

We were in Madrid this week and I was so excited to try your food recommendations. The bocadillos de calamares at bar la campaña are fantastic. To anyone who goes, make sure to get the red sauce and lemon on the side.
I spent about 24 hours in Madrid in January (a side trip from my main stay in Barcelona) and this makes me want to go back so bad. I made the mistake of going to Mercado de San Miguel around lunchtime on a Friday. I'd love to spend more time and take it a little slower than trying to see as much as possible in 1 day (I walked over 40,000 steps that day).
Next time ask to locals (if possible older people) what places do they recomend as Mercado de San Miguel is good but way overpriced
@@jimr879 I definitely want to go back and spend more time in Madrid.
Watching your vids always make me calm and relax. Thanks Guga!
Finally you came to Spain!! If you are still around try spanish "tortilla de patatas" and "presa iberica".
How did he go to Madrid and avoid a tortilla lmao
Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos.
After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos:
- Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef.
- How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ?
- Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide.
And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)
Next time you came to Spain try to go to the north region, Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and Pais Vasco, crazy big rations and the best food you can eat!!!
The best option you choose in your entire trip was the official guide of CEFAPIT 😊😊
Impossible to make a mistake with us!
Thank u Guga! Cheers from Granada! Hope to see you here!
I love the food in spain, cant beat a soft roll, with lomo, onions and peppers, so so delicious.
Dude, you should go to France! They are the kings of modern western cooking. They take their salt and butter very seriously and judging from your videos, that should be right up your alley. 😊 And you did not taste bread until you’ve gone to a french boulangerie. Its really special.
You could take the opportunity to team up with fellow food youtuber Alex for a collab. Im sure he’d love to learn about your steakmaking techniques.
Im not french myself but credit where credit is due.
A felicidade do Guga em estar com a boca cheia de porras é algo que vai ficar pra sempre na minha lembrança HAHAHAHAHA

Dude Guga, coming from a spaniard: you really got the hang of the pronunciation! Really, really good! Don't let Dani the guide make fun of you for that hahaha
4:58 As someone who lives in Asturias this part is pure pain.
He said : "croqueta de bacalao" perfectly😂👏👏
Si esto es lo que un tipo como Guga enseña de Madrid… definitivamente nos vendemos faltal
You have to bring the family and go "100 MONTADITOS" GUGA to eat as many tapas as you want.
Also come to Cantabria in the North and have some "Cocido Montañes", Cantabrian villages are famous their restaurants serving huge portions, I'm sure you will like it, try Sobarzo village for example (restaurante "La Yerbita"), and you can drive into Cabarceno Zoo with your family afterwards.
Santander is the capital of Cantabria and has lots of options too, i like ("Restaurante Mesón Los Arcos").
Welcome to my country, I hope you enjoy your time with us🙂 in every region you´ll find diferent tipes of food
Nice video!! Enjoy Spain!! By the way, the girl who was telling you 'no more no more' at minute 4:52 is normal for her to tell you, you have spoiled the cider, you only have to hold it once and drink the little that is already in the glass, without giving it again, it is drunk sip by sip, but the process of ''encanciar'' is useless.
And you didn't even try the most classical dishes! Cocido madrileño, potaje, croquetas, and a ton of other traditional dishes. Each region in Spain has a really huge diversity of dishes.
As a Madrileño, I’m really glad you enjoyed our cuisine, cheers!
I hope you tasted more things than the ones in the video! You have to try croquetas, ensaladilla, flamenquin, etc and for sure to go to a more modern take on tapas to try the new trends!
As I spanish I love when foregneirs enjoy our food 😊
Food is amazing everywhere in Spaim but personally I think where I ate the best food was in the north of Spain. Pais Vasco was my favourite.
You are absoulutely right
diselo 😎
Now that you are smitten with Madrid come down South, Andalucia, and madly fall in love! By the way you’re Spanish isn’t half bad, love the channel ❤️
Guga: "I'm not a sweet person"
Also guga: dumps entire packet of sugar on top of chocolate coated churro
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 😅
Those mushroom looked phenomenal
Hello
Every region of Spain has great food: Cider houses in Basque Country and Asturias are great, roasted lamb from Burgos, roasted piglet from Segovia, octopus and zamburiñas and many other seafood from Galicia, paella and other rice dishes from Valencia. The list is HUGE.
I'm glad you enjoyed our food! Now, for the next time you visit us again, I suggest you take a trip through the south of Spain, like Sevilla, Málaga, Cádiz, etc. The food is really different, and you will try many different things. Also, the north of Spain is incredible, with amazing meat and cheese, traditional dishes, and much more. It's a never-ending experience!
"My Spanish is not that good" Sir, your pronounciation is spot on when you use the "r"s. I really hope you can travel to the Basque Country, you'll love the gastronomy there.
From a Spanish speaker (from Dominican Republic) your spanish is not only good enough, but I'd say it's quite good!
I recommended you visiting Europe in many comments because I was sure you would love the food. Since you are already in Madrid visit some more of Spain like Valencia or more countries like France or Italy
Ver estas cosas si me causa orgullo. Viva la comida española!
As a Spaniard I recommend going to València it’s beautiful and the food there is perfect
I hope you tried Serrano. It's basically the heaven of dry aged pork☺️
Edit: Glad you did
Serrano is the cheap version man. You have to order jamón de bellota.
