There’s no tradition of kebab shops for midnight attacks of the munchies, but there’s always Bar Melo’s. One of those Spanish bars that you’d normally walk past without a second glance, Bar Melo’s is famous across the city for its zapatillas – great, spanking bocadillos (filled rolls) of lacón (cured shoulder of pork) and cheese.
They’re big, they’re greasy and they’re damn good. The place is packed on Friday and Saturday nights when a zapatilla is the perfect accompaniment to a night of drinking. The croquetas (croquettes) are also famously good, not to mention epic in scale.
