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

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.

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.

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.
