Caracola Dining Experience
A small market-side counter with yellow stools out front and a pastry case, built for a slice and a coffee rather than a long sit. It's family-friendly, dog-friendly and vegetarian-friendly.

Caracola Location & Neighbourhood
Address
Calle de Santa Isabel 5 (Mercado de Antón Martín, puesto 19 exterior), 28012 Madrid, Spain
Get directions→Getting There
On Calle de Santa Isabel, 5, in the Lavapiés area of the Embajadores neighbourhood, in Madrid's Centro.
Nearby
Embajadores is old working Madrid, dense and unpolished, and it rewards anyone willing to walk its side streets. The eating runs from taverns that have been there for generations to newer rooms doing something quite different. El Rastro spills through it on market days, and Lavapiés is the same conversation continued uphill.
