History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Madrid📅 Early 20th century🦐 ES

Cooking "al ajillo" — with lots of garlic in olive oil — is an old Spanish technique, but gambas al ajillo became a Madrid icon in the bars around the Puerta del Sol in the early 1900s, served bubbling in individual clay dishes.

It's one of the essential raciones of the Spanish tapas bar.
