📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Bocadillo is the Spanish word for a sandwich made in a crusty baguette, and the one filled with jamón (cured ham) is the most popular of all. It's eaten everywhere, from bars and station kiosks to afternoon snacks at home, and it's often combined with Catalan-style pan con tomate: bread rubbed with tomato and drizzled with olive oil.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At the counter of a Madrid bar, people on their way home from work eat a bocadillo standing up with a beer.
