Bakery Options in Madrid
Bread is an important part of the Spanish diet. It is included in every meal and bought fresh daily. There are several bakery, panaderías, in every neighborhood, so fresh bread is easy to find no matter where you live. There is a pretty wide selection of breads in Spain, although two of the most commonly purchased are baguettes and chapata (a wide, dense Spanish bread). The majority of Madrid’s bakeries are small, no-frills shops with a small selection of breads and pastries. However, if you are looking for specialized breads and fancy treats, the following bakeries are recommended:
