Last time i told you that you can’t be bored in Madrid and I advised you six things to see. But there are much more than only several places to visit. Today I want to share my experience and especially the things that you just CAN’T missed in Madrid.

1. Go for a run in Retiro
   

   Retiro Park

Retiro Park is the lungs of Madrid with 125 hectares and more than 15000 trees. It is situated in the center of the city. It offers cultural, leisure and sport activities to all people. For me it’s the perfect place to do a little sport like jogging or cycling while benefit from its beautiful gardens.

2.   Go to the Bernabeu Stadium tour

The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is the current home of Real Madrid. Even if you are not a fan of football you should visit the stadium, it is one of the world’s most famous and prestigious football venue. And if you are lucky enough to get a place for a football match it will be impressive!

   3.   Take a selfie in front of La Casa Botín

Before coming to Spain, I didn’t know that Madrid was the place where the oldest operating restaurant in the world was. It was founded in 1725 by a French man Jean Botin. Generally people take pictures of the storefront but you may also go inside to eat the Spanish and Castilian cuisine traditional recipes.

 

 

 

4.   Eat tapas in La Plaza Mayor

Plaza Mayor it’s i think the most touristic place in Madrid but it is also the best site for eating tapas with friends and family. The calamari sandwiches and croquetas are my favourite ones!

5.   Eat chocolate con churros in San Ginés

San Ginés chocolaterie is the perfect place to go in Madrid to enjoy the local’s favourite breakfast: chocolate con churros. Open 24 hours every day, it’s definitely worth a visit even if it’s almost always full. If you are still hungry you can also stop at La Mallorquina patisserie, just a few blocks away, to get some napolitanas (a kind of pastry similar to the French pain au chocolat).

 

 

6.   Go for shopping in El Rastro

Every Sunday it seems like the whole of Madrid is in one place. There are dozens of stalls set up selling second-hand clothes, vinyl records, jewellery and just about any object you can imagine. This is the most famous and oldest flea market in town.

Obviously these are for me the best things to do when coming visiting this city. But it’s a small overview of what offers the Capital of Spain…

See you !!
