Why has avocado consumption in Spain and in the world grown?
About a decade ago, the avocado was perceived in our country as a exotic product that hardly aroused the interest of a few followers of tropical fruits. To find them you had to go to gourmet shops or greengrocers and their introduction to Mediterranean cuisine was very rare.
Now, instead, thanks to the extension of crops in Spain, to globalization and your growing popularity on social media, its consumption has expanded remarkably. And it is that in addition to having incredible benefits for our body, it has a unique and delicious flavor.
Avocado route in the capital of Spain
Where better than in Madrid to celebrate this special day. There are many of the best restaurants in the country. In most of our rankings the guacamole It is the key product. The first place that we recommend to start your route is the Barbara ann. It is located in Calla Santa Teresa, one of the coolest areas of the capital.
Among its star dishes, you cannot miss elaborations such as cochinita pibil tacos with guacamango and chipotle mayonnaise, the red tuna tartare with avocado and, as essential, its artisan nachos with guacamole, melted cheddar and tomato tartare.
Continuing with the route, another restaurant that you cannot miss is the Barracuda MX. It is located on Calle Valenzuela, it comes from the Mexican Pacific coast and its creator is Roberto Ruíz.
If you delve into its menu you can find incredible recipes such as its chipped prawns with guacamole. You can also taste their pork rinds with coastal sauce and, of course, with guacamole.
Likewise, another fantastic place not far from the previous one, is the well-known Don Dimas. This contemporary food house headed by Álvaro Garcés, has been conceived as a tribute to the flavors of yesterday that awaken our memory, but made with today's techniques. A cookbook in which the product provided by the earth is very present.
It is presented with a careful aesthetic, such as the one that can be enjoyed in the grilled avocado that is served with apple, walnuts and confit lemon. A unique game of flavors that make this preparation a perfect option for this season. In addition, they are now also in the Pick up.
