Food break. We stopped by tapas joint Quimet y Quimet for a bite. There are over 100 different tapas served here, all hand assembled by the savant behind the counter. Their specialties is the montadito – a sort of open-faced toast sandwich on which everything from foie gras, to canned clams, to truffles and cheeses is piled on. Vegetarians, look away — but for those of you with a taste for preserved, salty nibbles, this is a Mecca. The best part is that after eating and drinking more than your fill, your bill will end up being half of what you thought. We split a seafood plate, a mushroom plate, and a salmon montadito (along with a couple beers each) for 30 euros.
