MUSEO DEL JAMÓN
A few of these Museo del Jamón tapas bars are scattered around Madrid, and this one at Carrera San Jeronimo 6 is our particular favourite.
They all offer an eclectic mix of traditional Spanish food, centred on ham, bread, beer & wine.
This place can be a godsend for those concerned about how much they spend. A beer and a ham & cheese bocadillo (roll) can be bought for around €1; you cannot beat that. If you have more money, try one of the less expensive Jamón’s.
The Jamón is colour-coded and comes in various grades and prices. The best and most expensive black-label Bellota 100% Ibérico costs €200 a kg. Quality follows the red, green, and white labels.
For those with money to spend, you must try the absolute best, the Jamón Ibérico de Bellota 100% (which are from 100% free range acorn-fed pure-breed Iberian black foot pigs, this is where the old term of pata negro jamón came from).
There is a good selection of wine, in this case, a very palatable Bodega Muga 2017 from D.O. Rioja.
This bar is always busy and noisy, with locals and tourists alike. It is near the busy Puerta del Sol and Plaza de Santa Ana. The bars are standard local meeting places for lunchtime or after-work tapas with a beer or glass of wine. There is a more formal dining room upstairs.
You never know who you may bump into.
Other tapas, like tortillas, boquerone fritas, etc., are available, but it is the jamón you came for. There is also an extensive delicatessen for take-away jamón, cheese and other charcutería.
