Street food Tortilla Española — the authentic version

The best Tortilla Española I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The smoky and savoury intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. smoked paprika was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

Spanish eating culture centres on long social meals rather than quick eating. The a Sunday family paella setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. Cava sparkling wine was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
