A piece of Egypt in the city centre. This temple, a gift from the Egyptian government, was taken stone by stone from the valley flooded when the Aswan Dam was built. It’s a great place for a picnic in the summer. You can enjoy the sunset and the (grey) skyline of Madrid.

This is a fabulous Hotel called Silken Puerta América, where each floor is designed by a different architect. It is open for public visiting. This year the Hotel was hosting the art fair Just Madrid and I was totally amazed by the first floor design of my favorite architect Zaha Hadid.

Great exotic restaurant with a nice vegetarian option menu. Try the chocolate fondant and coconut ice-cream it’s delicous! 

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

One of the oldest Italian restaurants in Madrid. The food is great and has a cosy  atmosphere with lovely interior. Opposite the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
