Pizzas and nice cocktails, what else do you need? Also a nice place for a date ;)

If you want to have nice drinks until late but don’t want to go to a club either this is your place. Also one of the spots where you can meet fun people if you want an unexpected night.

If you are looking for traditional good Spanish food this is your place. It's a cozy tavern situated in Malasaña hood, really nice to walk around.

It is a classic. Charming old fashion vibes for the best cocido Madrileño that is a must if you are visiting the city.

It used to be Sorolla's house in Madrid. It is perfectly well conserved and of course it contains stunning pieces of the painter, a real hidden treasure.

The best plan for a Sunday sunny morning in winter. After walking around the flea market get some time to visit all the design stores arround. Nothing better after that than having a vermut and some tapas on a terrace.

An amazing studio that also works as a multidisciplinary space for performances, art exhibitions and pop-ups. It's also going to have a store which promises to be a hot fashion spot.
