Spanish artist Jaime Hayon is sometimes called Almodóvar of design. So if you like "Kika", colours, Spanish culture and dreamy aestetics, you must visit Barceló Torre de Madrid and stay there for a night or just have a drink in a golden bar.
Medialab Prado is the coolest place to work, to collaborate, to do workshops, to participate in events and conferences. They are the nicest people in the planet doing such interesting programs. My favorite is Interactivos. It is also a good place to meet new friends and go afterwards for beers in the bars around Lavapies, a district full of art galleries and Museums.
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.
