If you are looking for a cheap and fast meal and you are by Plaza Mayor, this is the best deal I could find. Located on Calle de Campana is one of the most popular spots to grab a bocadillo de calamares (squid sandwich). Bar La Campana doesn’t make much else other than the delicious sandwich, but they do it to perfection. It’s a place all the locals know about and tourists miss.
It comes two ways, a sandwich and a plate. The plate is a heaping order of fried calamari rings and the sandwich is about the same amount on a bun. But this is the secret. The sandwich is half the price of the plate and enough for a meal. The plate is 6 Euro at the time of this writing, and the sandwich is 3. Then there is the Tapas.

If you order something to drink, you also get a heaping plate of olives. This comes to about 2 Euros. The drink with the Tapas and the sandwich, comes to 5 Euro! This is a full meal a will last until the next time you have to eat, a great meal at a great price!
There is usually a queue, but it is worth the wait to watch the staff fry up their fresh calamari just behind the counter. If you are going on a walking tour at Plaza Mayor, or just ended you day of site seeing, this is where you want to stop.
