No place does cold-weather comfort food like Spain.

Churros and chocolate are always a good idea!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Madrid in winter<\/a> is nothing short of magical, and not just because of the twinkling holiday lights and charming Christmas markets that set up shop. There’s also something to be said for tucking into a hearty stew at a family-run restaurant after a morning of sightseeing, or taking a moment to sit down and enjoy a caf\u00e9 con leche <\/em>on a sunny terrace (yes, even in winter!).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These 10 Spanish winter dishes will just about cover all your meals and snacks over the course of a day, and then some. And if you don’t get a chance to sample one of them here in Madrid, no worries\u2014we’ve got you covered with the recipes as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fabada Asturiana<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For a taste of northwestern Spain right here in Madrid, indulge in a bowl of fabada asturiana<\/em>. This is a hearty stew made of white beans, morcilla\u00a0<\/em>(blood sausage), chorizo and pork shoulder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Though it originated in the region of Asturias, this dish has become a national favorite. For an extra dash of authenticity, enjoy your fabada<\/em> with a cold glass of Asturian cider.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Where to try fabada <\/em>in Madrid<\/strong>: Family-run Casa Hortensia<\/a> is said to have the best fabada<\/em> outside of Asturias thanks to their commitment to hand-picked, high-quality ingredients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cocido Madrile\u00f1o<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Feeling super hungry? Your best bet is a\u00a0cocido madrile\u00f1o<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the name implies,\u00a0cocido madrile\u00f1o\u00a0<\/em>originated here in the Spanish capital. In addition to being one of the best Spanish winter dishes, it’s also a must-try food in Madrid in general.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

More of a multi-course meal than a single stew, a cocido<\/em>-eating experience starts with a simple noodle soup. After that, it’s on to the main event: chickpeas, potatoes, chorizo, beef shank, and pork belly. Some recipes enhance the flavor even more with carrots, cabbage, and\u00a0morcilla<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sopa de Ajo<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sopa de ajo<\/em>, or garlic soup, hails from Palencia, a city in the region of Castilla y Le\u00f3n. It might surprise you to know that the other main ingredient (aside from garlic) is bread! After the bread has been cut into chunks, it’s served soaking in a broth of paprika and garlic and topped with a poached egg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Where to try sopa de ajo<\/em> in Madrid<\/strong>: Restaurante Ponzano<\/a> makes an excellent version of this humble soup. Their secret: traditional candeal<\/em> bread straight from Castilla y Le\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n

Caldo Gallego<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u2019re heading back up north again\u2014this time to the lush, green region of Galicia<\/a>. Here, locals fight the cold weather with a satisfying bowl of\u00a0caldo gallego<\/i>, a savory soup that includes bacon, white beans, potatoes, chorizo and cabbage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For those walking the famous Camino de Santiago<\/a> during the winter months, a large serving of\u00a0caldo gallego <\/i>is the perfect way to warm up after a long day of walking in the cold. But thanks to the thousands of Galician migrants who have moved down to the Spanish capital over the centuries, it’s now a staple on Madrid restaurant menus as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Where to try caldo gallego <\/em>in Madrid<\/strong>: Mes\u00f3n Ondi\u00f1as do Mendo (Calle de Villaamil, 4<\/em>) is an excellent Galician restaurant that locals love, and their version of this dish is worth leaving the city center for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sopa de Lentejas<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another legume-based dish, the simple but classic sopa de lentejas<\/em> (lentil soup) is a well-loved household staple. This delicious and nutritious dish is easy to make using lentils, carrots, onions, potatoes, chorizo and some smoked paprika.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Caldo<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Caldo<\/em>\u00a0means “broth” and is an unfussy, traditional winter comfort food in Madrid. Made with slow cooked meat, stew bones and vegetables, the resulting broth (served in small mugs or bowls) is a magical elixir on a cold day.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As you\u2019re walking through the city, look for signs on the windows of bars or restaurants stating \u201cHay caldo<\/em>\u201d (we serve\u00a0caldo<\/em>). It becomes pretty ubiquitous in Madrid during the winter!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Churros and Chocolate<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This indulgent combination\u00a0is never far away in Madrid. You could drop by any number of cafes for a thick mug of not too-sweet hot chocolate served with crunchy churros. But to make sure you’re getting the best of the best, look for a place that fries their churros fresh and uses high quality chocolate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Spaniards traditionally enjoy churros and chocolate\u00a0as a breakfast\u00a0treat or an afternoon snack. For bonus points, try your hot chocolate with\u00a0porras<\/em>,\u00a0a bigger,\u00a0fluffier version of the more familiar churros.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Callos a la Madrile\u00f1a<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For another hearty favorite, try\u00a0callos a la madrile\u00f1a<\/em>.\u00a0This tomato-based tripe stew is a Madrid classic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
