Our first time in Madrid, we spent most of our time roaming the streets between the Atocha train station and the Puerta del Sol. We loved the pedestrian street Calle Huertas and the surrounding area bustling with bars, shops and nightlife. We didn’t know it then, but […]
We ate well in Madrid last month. In addition to the usual tapas bars, we found some over-the-top pintxos and splurged on a Michelin-starred dinner. We even found two new spots to enjoy local and international craft beers. Read on to see the gastronomic highlights from our latest […]
