The Tasting Spoon

Here at The Tasting Spoon, we've been lucky enough to spend the last two weeks in Barajas and Madrid, Spain. While it's been a business-centered trip, our meals have been enjoyably different than what we're used to in Laredo. Colors pop off the plate, tastes and textures excite and some dishes were a first. We traveled with a group and thus were able to partake in many more plates than we normally would on our own. Restaurante Campanillas (Pepe's) [Barajas] Our first meal consisted of a stroll across the street from our hostel to Restaurante Campanillas. The owner Pepe was so accommodating, hospitable and made us and the rest of our group feel like regulars at his establishment. Fellow guitar groups simply called the restaurant Pepe's and we came to know it as such in our time there. Gazpacho Perfectly crisp/soft bread and Pepe's famous sangria Beans with clams, mixed salad, stewed peas with veal, Campanillas salad Eggs, potatoes and blood
