Madrid recs (from will)
Cool places to check out:
• Palacio real
• Museo del Prado or National Archeological Museum, pretty cool museums, not sure if you’re interested
• Mercado de San Miguel — cool indoor market, pretty touristy but super nice
• Chocolatería San Ginés — awesome 24 hour/late night churro place. You can get churros and chocolate for pretty cheap and it’s right near the center of the city
Tapas places/bars
• El Tigre — cider bar that gives you insane portions. Like €5 for a big cider and so much free food with it
• Most restaurants are generally really good, they typically have a Menu del Día which is a three course meal, probably for like €10–15, usually super worth it
Clubs
• Kapital
• Joy Eslava
Other stuff
• Lavapiés is the super grungy neighborhood where there’s a ton of street art and tattoo shops and things
• Plaza de 2 de mayo was a big meet up spot for young people in the city to drink and have fun at night. But that was a few years ago so not sure if it’s certain nights only (maybe tuesdays or wednesdays idk)
Oh also Parque del Retiro (super iconic) and Horchateria Alboraya has amazing horchata and definitely worth a visit
