Entre Cáceres y Badajoz
A good place to stop for a bite if you’re visiting Las Ventas bullring nearby, this traditional tasca is named after the rolling expanses of Extremadura where bulls are bred. It serves up platefuls large and small of Spanish bar favorites—jamón Ibérico, battered baby squid, spicy patatas bravas—and it gets very busy, especially at the weekend. The friendly staff are expert at encouraging you to keep ordering plates to share at its barrel-top tables, helped along by free tapas every time you order a frothy beer. When you can’t eat any more, there might be a free chupito—a sweet shot of liqueur.
