Bocadillo de Tortilla de Patatas, made with a small bread roll (pan francés), eggs and potatoes (like an egg omlette).

Bocadillos were one of my favorite meals while living in Madrid, Spain. Eaten with a cool beer at any neighborhood tapas bar or sidewalk cafe is part of everyday life in Spain. Unlike the American version of a sandwich and a cool beer the ingredients of a bocadillo are usually made fresh daily.

Tapas usually a small dish with a variety of small pieces of fish, olives, tortilla, cheeses, or meats are another staple of a casual lifestyle in Spain.
