Museo del Jamón
The ham-hung Madrid institution in its Mayor branch: a busy counter downstairs and dining rooms above.
Open on the 3D mapOrder
Bocadillo de jamón ibérico de bellota and a ración de queso curado.
Not for you if
you want a quiet, personal little bar; this is a large, brisk Madrid operation.
Local trick
Use the ground-floor counter for your bocata; ask for an upstairs dining room if you're sitting down to the menú.
