Together with a big glass of strong Rioja to tickle those taste buds! My local 'kaasboer' (delicatessen specializing in cheese) sells cabrales. It reminds me a bit of Stilton. Here is some mouth-watering Wikipedia stuff about croquetas - croquettes - kroketjes in several European countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquette Now I know where I have eaten the shrimp thingies: in Holland, and not in Spain. But perhaps they have got them in Spain, too? I'm sure they would go down very well with an aioli dip. P.s.: I guessed it had to be 'croquetas' because double consonants are hardly ever used in Spanish. Oh yeah! Together with a big glass of strong Rioja to tickle those taste buds!

If you like croquetas try musculos de cangrejo – crabs muscles – they are like a fishcake with a crab claw stuck in the side

Bar de Pi does excellent anchovies – three rolled up round an olive on a mini skewer – bandillera de boquerones.

If you enjoyed them try the tiny deep fried whole fish – I took some persuading the first time but they are deleicous – chipirones I think.
