Wine is an essential attribute of Spanish cuisine; almost no dish is served without its “accompaniment.” The variety of Spanish wines is astonishing; however, there are not many real wine bars in Madrid - only seven, and one of them is located on Santa Ana Square.
The Barbechera wine bar offers its guests about 40 types of wine and a large selection of snacks. Probably that is why it is always crowded here. Among the wine bar's visitors are travelers and residents of neighboring districts, young people and pensioners.
Barbechera is designed like a wine cellar, where barrels serve as tables. If you manage to get a seat by the window, you can watch the life of Madrid's streets, leisurely sipping wine and enjoying the taste of the famous Spanish tapas sandwich. By the way, their variety will not leave even the most “avid” gourmet indifferent, who will surely be interested in trying a montadito sandwich with foie gras and apple or with tuna belly and roasted peppers.
