The best croquetas in Madrid
We can tell that together with the spanish tortilla (and with permission of the famous patatas bravas) croquettes are some of the best examples of tapas. A great creation in the world of pinchos and raciones in Spain.
An easy but also complicated dish; its charm lives in its simplicity. This béchamel dough coated in butter, at which you can add different ingredients, first originated in France (We have to be honest), but its highest exponents are the culinary traditions in the Netherlands and in Spain.
