The one to order

The bocadillo de calamares: fried squid rings on a crusty roll, with a beer

The line to expect: A crowd at the bar at lunch and on weekends; it moves.

Madrid's oddest classic (fried squid in bread, in a city far from the sea) and La Campana's is the one locals send you to.

Bocadillo de calamares (fried squid roll)

30 min · 2 bocadillos. Madrid's bar-counter sandwich: rings of squid in a light flour coating, fried crisp and piled into a crusty roll. That's all; some add a smear of alioli. Have it with a small cold beer.
