Guidebook for Madrid
Food Scene
One of the most charming bars in Madrid. They only serve fantastic Sherry wine and incredible tapas. No music, no photos allowed, no credit cards, no tips accepted. The waiter´s write your orders with chalk on the wooden bar. It´s like travelling back to 1900s. Perfect for "aperitivo" before lunch or dinner. On the evening of Friday or Saturday try to go when they open at 19:00 or don´t bother at all since it is becoming increasingly popular. For the first time I would suggest to drink Manzanilla, Fino o Palo Cortado and to order a tapa (smaller than ración o media ración and enough to taste) of mojama (dry-cured tuna loin), lomo (dried-cured pork loin) and queso (aged manchego cheese).

Sightseeing
Madrid´s Sunday Flea Market is an experience in itself. Not so much for the shopping as for the experience. Good for tapas too.
