#1 place for the BEST tarta de queso in the WORLD not only in madrid!!! make sure you go early or call to put one on hold because they will run out

Alex Cordobés (@alexcordobess)

my favourite place for brunch, to grab a coffee with friends or to go get some work done!! always order an iced latte with oat milk and my go-to croiffle YUM

HanSo Café 2

BEST iced latte & chai latte in town!!! perfect for your on-the-go caffeine fix and amazing specialty coffee spot!

Café de especialidad - East Crema Coffee®

this one is such a jem!!! best lemon and lavander bread, iced lattes & such creative versions of toasts ranging from avocado to tomatoes and cheese or even some sweet french toast!! MUST VISIT (also pet friendly)

COFI. (café de especialidad)

terraces

this is THE THING to do in madrid rain or shine!! there are so many along La Gran Vía but these are some of my absolute favs

if you are looking to spot a celebrity on a terrace THIS is the place!!

Picalagartos

this one is free to go up, so if you do not wanna pay those extra 8-10 euros for a nice view of Gran Vía this one is a must

Sky 44 Rooftop Terraza & Bar Madrid

amazing place to enjoy a drink with friends terraceo style but in the middle of El Retiro Park (skip to nightlife for a surprise because there is a club inside this place too! and it is so so cool)

Florida Park

parks

my favourite parks and spots to watch the sunset… most if not all of these are pet friendly YAY hepburn gets to come along!!

my magical place in the middle of the city. when they tell me “think of your happy place” i imagine myself in this park

Parque de El Retiro

this is my go-to park for walking my pup and on the weekends we like to people watch the salsa classes they host by the chapel

Madrid Río

shopping & hair

if you wanna go shopping during your visit, get your hair done while you are at it, here are my recommendations!

best market sets up every sunday in barrio la latina. you can find so many cute clothes, trinkets, accessories, and many more!

El Rastro - Guía de viaje

a stroll around gran vía is like no other!! you must go shopping here and live the dream in madrid because you deserve it!

Gran Vía - La calle más importante de Madrid

this is not called “house of the blondes” for nothing… best hair stylists in THE WORLD (ask for adrian!!)

Espacio Q

Élite Estudio Madrid

here is the must go to place for contemporary dance!!! come express yourself with us and build a community

180: escuela de danza

nightlife
