Secret cocktail bar set in a 17th century library. From the outside, it looks like an old charming bonsai shop. You can only access with reservation. To make the experience even more exclusive, visitors must enter a secret code in a small and discreet door.

A bar and bookshop to enjoy a glass of wine while reading a book or to read a book while drinking a glass of wine. They show a careful selection of contemporary literature and artworks downstairs, from where you can spy on the people upstairs because the ceiling is made of glass.

The city’s old slaughterhouse, now an art centre. It’s a monumental project that somehow manages to survive the financial crisis. They organize interesting exhibitions, talks and other activities. The perfect excuse to go for a walk around the southern side of Madrid.

Nice little Kiosk with a good selection of independent magazines.

One of my favorite cafes in Madrid, near Plaza de España, and where they make the best palmeras in Madrid.
