My Madrid Travel Guide

Small, old school vermouth bar and restaurant, great olives.

Newer fusion food. Great for dinner but has a great daily lunch special

Traditional spanish restaurant with old charm while still feeling a bit upscale.

Bright, old vermouth bar. Get the gin & vermouth special. Small bites available as well.

New age wine bar with small bites. Also bottles to-go for purchase.

Large, beautiful park featuring ponds and palace made out of glass in the middle. Great for a grocery store sandwich for a picnic.

The busiest plaza, but could be worth a walk around at night to see what sort of street performers are up to.

Another busy, touristy plaza that's close to Gran Via

Touristy shopping area that's good for people watching and some clothing from stores we don't have in the States. Just don't eat around there.

A less busy, but still full, market. Good for lunch, or just looking around to see how the locals buy food.
