3 Best Day Trips from Madrid: Segovia, Toledo, and San Lorenzo de El Escorial | Condé Nast Traveler
"Locals mix with in-the-know tourists at Restaurante Charolés, a no-fuss restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The famous cocido (a hearty meat-and-vegetable stew), prepared only a few days a week, draws in the locals, but you can't go wrong with bacalao or oxtail stew—this is Spain, after all. And since you're technically in a steakhouse, you'll have your choice of fine cuts. A short walk from El Escorial, this is a perfect complement to a day trip." - Ramsey Qubein
