4. EPIC MADRID FOOD TOUR! ????

Madrid has amazing food.. there I said it! Often when people think of Madrid they think of museums and art and maybe a trip to Toledo. But trust me, this city has an incredible food scene that is less touristy and more underground compared to some other cities in Spain. So, I wanted to make this Madrid food guide so that you can enjoy it like a true local!
Today I take you to 10 of my favourite places to eat 10 incredible bites. We start with the best chocolate in the city (melted from actual chocolate) at an over 100-year-old pastry shop. Then we head to a local and hidden family-run joint for the city’s top Spanish omelette (tortilla española) and a beer (caña).
Next up! Vermouth time. We nip across to the San Miguel market for a sweet red vermouth on tap just like the locals do (along with marcona almonds, campo real olives and a local skewer). Then we head to a SECRET STOP. Cloistered nuns who bake cookies in - the cookies are delicious and moreish and the experience is truly one-of-a-kind. As a friend used to say, like doing a drug deal!
OK… getting full. Next stop - jamón… ham! And the good stuff - acorn-fed jamón ibérico in a family-run ham shop. Around the corner we head to an over 100-year-old tapas bar for one of the most delicious tapas in the city - bull tail stew parcel, paired with a Rioja wine.
Next it’s Madrid’s most famous bite - the calamari sandwich. There are so many places that do this, but we head for the best one! And for more seafood, we swing around into the La Latina neighbourhood for the best bacalao in the city, served with a white wine in a place that is a true Madrid rough-and-tumble tapas bar.
And then - tapas. We swing into Casa Toni, a fantastic tapas bar that does brilliant sweetbreads - mollejas - a delicacy in many restaurants around the world, and here deliciously cooked with skill on the griddle.
And finally, dessert … we head to the most famous pastry shop in the city for the napolitana de crema. The perfect sweet end to a fabulous Madrid food tour. Siesta time!
Want to find those secret nun cookies? Head to Calle Codo (near Plaza de la Villa) and where you see the door with the sign Venta de Dulces, ring the top bell. Hours are Mon-Fri 0930-1300 then 16.30 - 18.30.
Here's the list of where we went:
1. El Riojano
2. Cerveriz
3. Mercado San Miguel (La Hora del Vermut was the stall)
4. Nuns
5. Mercado Jamon Iberico
6. Anciano Rey de los Vinos
7. Casa Revuelta
8. La Campana
9. Casa Toni
10. La Mallorquina

The Insider. Capítulo 1, La danza de lo ilegible. IED Visual Madrid
El pasado 21 de mayo tuvo lugar en el IED Madrid la performace de voz y danza de Ernesto Estrella The Insider, intervenida por los estudiantes del Curso de Un Año de Arte Digital y Diseño de Experiencias.
The Insider es una serie compuesta por seis episodios que tratan el tema de la identidad nómada y migratoria en la sociedad contemporánea. El primer capítulo nos adentra en la mente de un agente de aduanas quien, al poco tiempo de jubilarse, comienza a ser invadido por los recuerdos y experiencias de las personas que pasaban delante de él mientras estaba de servicio. Preciso y voraz, el Insider interviene en el ADN cultural de nuestro tiempo y nos presenta una identidad nómada, fiel al pulso múltiple de nuestro ser y estar diarios.
Evening in Madrid - Spain 4K Travel Channel
The place is framed by the hotel penthouse in the west and the Teatro Español in the east. We are greeted by a statue of Federico Garcia Lorca's, a leading Spanish poet and dramatist, who was shot in 1936 at the age of 38 by the Franco's coup. His body was never found.
Over a glass of wine respectively beer and tapas, Jose gives us insider tips about locations worth visiting in Madrid. Especially delicious was the Pulpo a la Gallega, a traditional dish from Galicia.
We learn quickly that the Madrilenians are extremely noise resistant. The surrounding noise level is so high that, sometime, a conversation is hardly possible.
Afterwards Jose shows us the Salamander in the Calle de Prado. The salamander, made of CDs, was created by IADE Escuela de Diseno (School of Design). We had already seen it already on one of Jose's photos in social media and wanted to see it it live.
At the Plaza de las Cortes we see the monument Miguel de Cervantes, Spain's national poet, who wrote the Don Quixote. He is buried in the Convento de las Trinitarias Descalzas de San Ildefonso in Madrid's literary quarter.
On the opposite side of the street is the Congress of Deputies, the lower house of the Spanish legislative branch.
From here you have a beautiful view of the Plaza Cánovas with the Fuente de Neptuno (Fountain of Neptune) and Roman Catholic church San Jerónimo el Real in the background.
Via the Puerta del Sol, we reach the Calle Preciados, one of the busiest shopping streets in Madrid. An indescribable throng prevails here during the day and also around this time many people are still around. After Girona's medieval Old Town, the illuminations in Madrid appear to us like a fairytale wonderland.

Unser Freund Jose holt uns im Hotel ab und wir gehen zum Abendessen zur Plaza de Santa Ana. Der Platz ist umrahmt vom Hotel Penthouse im Westen und dem Teatro Español im Osten.
Wir werden von der Statue des Federico Garcia Lorca's begrüßt, einem führenden spanischen Lyriker und Dramatiker, der im Alter von 38 Jahren 1936 von den Putschisten Franco's erschossen worden war. Seine Leiche wurde nie gefunden.
Bei Tapas, Wein und Bier, gibt uns Jose Insidertipps über Besuchenswertes in Madrid. Besonders lecker war der Pulpo a la gallega, ein traditionelles Gericht aus Galizien.
Rasch lernen wir, dass die Madrider äußerst lärmresistent sind. Der umliegende Geräuschpegel ist so hoch, dass irgendwann eine Unterhaltung kaum noch möglich ist. Im Anschluss daran zeigt uns Jose den Salamander in der Calle de Prado. Der Salamander wurde von IADE Escuela de Diseño (Schule für Design) aus CDs erstellt. Wir hatten ihn bereits auf einem von Jose's Fotos in den Sozialen Medien gesehen und wollten es nun in Natura erleben.
Am Plaza de las Cortes steht das Denkmal Miguel de Cervantes, Spaniens Nationaldichter, der den „Don Quijote“ verfasste. Er ist im Convento de las Trinitarias Descalzas de San Ildefonso in Madrids Literatenviertel bestattet.
Auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite befindet sich der Congreso de los Diputados, das Haus der Abgeordneten, dem Unterhaus des spanischen Parlaments.
Von hier aus hat man eine schönen Blick auf den Plaza Cánovas mit dem Fuente de Neptuno und der Kirche San Jerónimo el Real im Hintergrund.
Über die Puerta del Sol erreichen wir die Calle Preciados, eine der belebtesten Einkaufsstraßen Madrids. Herrscht hier unter Tags ein unbeschreibliches Gedränge so sind nun um diese Uhrzeit noch immer viele Menschen unterwegs. Nach Gironas mittelalterlichen Altstadt erscheinen uns die Illuminationen in Madrid wie im Märchenwunderland.

McDonald's in Spain is so much better than in America
McDonald's restaurants outside of the US serve a bunch of unique dishes that you can't get Stateside. So when I was in Barcelona, Spain, earlier this month for MWC, I made it a mission to try McDonald's menu items that I would never be able to order at a regular American McDonald's.

Have a Seat at the Oldest Restaurant in the World
Botín Restaurant has kept the flame burning for the past 293 years … literally. Ever since the doors opened in 1725, the oven has been sizzling continuously, never to be extinguished. According to deputy manager Luis Javier Sànchez Alvarez, the oven is the crown jewel of the restaurant and the fundamental element of their most popular dish, the roast suckling pig. The recipes used today have been passed down from generation to generation, keeping the legacy of these traditional dishes alive. With the honor of being the oldest restaurant in the world, Alvarez hopes to keep the doors open for centuries to come.

A Day in Madrid | Condé Nast Traveler
Madrid is a city that radiates energy and to best experience it, you need to keep moving. Start the day touring la Plaza Mayor and the winding alleyways of the city’s center, then eat your way through San Miguel Market before a quick siesta in El Retiro, the city’s sprawling park. Dine late and party even later: “El Foro,” as the capital is known to locals, never stops buzzing.
