My first question in any bar is almost always, ¿Tienes croquetas? Here I catalogue for me and humankind the range of croquetas across Spain.

Croquetas! Red shrimp from casa del abuelo. Freshly made, a ración of 6. For extra goodness, we topped them with the garlic oil from their gambas al ajillo #fyeahcroquetas #moreplease #review #lacasadelabuelo #madrid Thanks to @jeanyah for the topping tip! (at La Casa del Abuelo)

A giant croqueta at Casa Pavón, Béjar, Salamanca. I was told it was jamón but it had meat in it. My first #neverAgain rating goes to this one. #fyeahcroquetas #jamon #carne (at Béjar)

@virogastrobar wins the croqueta prize for the best in the region. Served fresh these ibérico croquetas are delightful. A crisp textured crust gives way to a soft delish opus bechamel with little jamón chunks. #virogastrobar #guijuelo #offthecharts #FYeahCroquetas #croquetas #review #jamon #ibericos (at VIRÓ Gastrobar)

More croquetas, served as a tapa of two pieces, clearly we love our croquetas. Like most small town bar croquetas, these jamón ones are satisfying when freshly made (which this lot was). #FYeahCroquetas #review #guijuelo #barLosAngelesGuijuelo #croquetas #jamon #NiceButNotTwice but in all likelihood I will get them again.

The staple: jamón croquetas. These ones were reheated - ie soggy but flavourful. Rating: NiceButNotTwice #FYeahCroquetas #review #BarSherriff #Guijuelo #croquetas #jamon #NiceButNotTwice (at Guijuelo)

The croquetas @salgordarest were incredible. The thin but substantial jamon flecks imparted an intense burst of flavour. The crust, thin and crisp, was perfect. #FYeahCroquetas #review #salGorda #madrid #croquetas #jamon #offthecharts (at Restaurante Sal Gorda)

@juanluissees and I tried a plate of croquetas at @elpimientoverde. They serve three kinds - squid, crab and cod. They were all delicious. I've yet to find a croqueta with a thin, crispy crust like these ones had. Incredible but expensive at €2 each.

Most days the #croquetas at bar España, in the plaza mayor of Barco de Avila, are freshly made and brought out to you as either a ración of 8 or as a tapa of as many as you order. When fresh, these jamón croquetas with their chunky bits of jamón are delicious. When reheated and served up, they are uninspiring. The uncertainty of which it will be makes the payoff that much sweeter. #FYeahCroquetas #morePlease #elBarcoDeAvila #barEspana #croquetasCasera #jamon #latergram (at Plaza De España El Barco De Avila)

I went back to @barlambuzo with @juanluissees because the gambas al ajillo #croquetas are just so good. This time we sampled their special costillas (al pijillo) as well. #FYeahCroquetas #morePlease #barLambuzo #madrid #croquetas #gambasAlAjillo #costillasAlPijillo #morePlease #latergram (at Lambuzo)

A ración of croquetas at Mercado de la Reina. They were tasty but paled in comparison to their other food. Would I get them again? Perhaps not. Rating: NiceButNotTwice #FYeahCroquetas #review #mercadoDeLaReina #venue #croquetas #jamon #NiceButNotTwice (at Restaurante Mercado de la Reina)

Jamón croquetas, a very crispy crust and a mediocre filling. Rating: NiceButNotTwice #FYeahCroquetas #review #cerveceriasantabarbara #Madrid #croquetas #jamon #NiceButNotTwice (at Cervecerías Santa Bárbara)

'Carrilleras de ibérica y su jugo' served on a bed of potato and sweet potato fries. This half ration of freshly made #croquetas was very very good. Rating: MorePlease @ladymadonna_restaurante #FYeahCroquetas #review #madrid #carrillerasDeIberico #MorePlease (at Lady Madonna)

Casa Lucas: jamón croquetas. These guys were soft like the boletus ones but a while lot tastier. You could taste the subtle jamón flavour through the creamy bechamel. Not overpowering and not underwhelming. Rating: MorePlease #FYeahCroquetas #review #madrid #casaLucas #croquetas #jamon #MorePlease (at Taberna Casa Lucas)
