Bocadillo de salchichón

Bocadillo de salchichón is a variety of bocadillo, a Spanish sandwich made traditionally with a Spanish-style baguette called barra de pan. At its simplest, this bocadillo sandwich consists of a baguette sliced lengthwise and layered generously with thin slices of salchichón (a Spanish dry-cured sausage or salami).

The cut side of the bread is often rubbed with ripe tomato halves or olive oil to make the sandwich juicier. Other common additions to this simple sandwich include slices of cheese and cherry tomatoes. In Spain, people either make this sandwich at home or buy it from the numerous bars, roadside eateries, and taverns which offer it on their menus.
