Lunch at El Botin in Madrid, Spain

I made a reservation for lunch at El Botin several months before the honeymoon.  El Botin is the oldest restaurant in the world, per the Guiness Book of Records.  A more pricy meal for lunch but still reasonable.  Our choices were a little mismatched, but all very delicious and well cooked. It's a very old world environment.  Right by Plaza Mayor so super easy to get to.
Half a jarra of sangria

String beans with pork.  Giant beans.  A little greasy from the pork but tasty and we felt mildly healthy

Squid in its ink and rice.  Amazing

House specialty - roast suckling pig.  Tender and great flavor but the skin could've been crisper.
