The bocadillo or bocata, in
Spain, is a
sandwich made with
Spanish bread, usually a
baguette or similar type of bread, cut lengthwise. Traditionally seen as a humble food, its low cost has allowed it to evolve over time into an iconic piece of cuisine. In Spain, they are often eaten in cafes and
tapas bars.[1]
Some bocadillos are seasoned with sauces like
mayonnaise,
aioli,
ketchup,
mustard or
tomato sauce. They are usually served with cold beer or red wine, drinks, coffee and a portion of tapas. Different types of bocadillos are available in different parts of Spain, such as the
serranito, almussafes and
esgarrat.
Types
There is a wide variety of bocadillos in Spain,[2] but the most typical can be pointed out. Bocadillos can also be found in northern Morocco.
