Bodega de los Reyes Wine Shop

Bodega de los Reyes is a small wine shop just a few feet away from Plaza de España in downtown Madrid. While the shop in and of itself is nothing out of the ordinary, they do have great wine tastings on a pretty regular basis for affordable prices. The cellar, aside from storing wine, is also decked out will a small bar, kitchen and tables, serving up rather good tapas and some of Spain's best wines (and Spain's full of them, with a lot of delightful ones coming from lesser-known regions).

We went to a 12-wine tasting accompanied by tapas of ham and cheese, gazpacho, and grilled steak for only five euros.
