It’s a tradition still in Madrid! 8-)
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónEvery saturday and sunday, not only in the city but in almost every village around it, many people drink vermouth in a tradition called ’ir a tomar el vermú’ (vermú is the Madrid way of pronouncing vermouth ;) Anyhow, most of men drink beer or ’chatos’ (glasses of red wine), but still many women, fortunately, drink vermouth. I don’t drink vermouth ’cos I can drink a full glass of it, nevertheless I always drink a couple of sips of my friends glass.
Cheers,
Jose
