A combination of nature, historic architecture and beautiful photogenic sights; The Retiro Park or Parque del Buen Retiro is an absolutely astonishing place. Built in the 17th century, this park is a must-see for anyone who truly want to taste what Madrid is about. Be sure to check out El Palacio de Cristal (The Crystal Palace)!
Wondering what Madrid looked like during the Early Modern Period? Well, don't miss the chance to take a look at the Plaza Mayor. After the crown declared Madrid its capital, this was the place where commerce and trade took place, as well as many other official events.
Since the 17th century, La Puerta de Sol or The Gate of the Sun has been the place to meet. In the centre of Madrid, this is a place where history turns into culture with its never-ending vibrant energy and as its reputation states it is the place to start a journey through the beautiful city of Madrid.
Best tacos in Madrid. Our favorites are the suadero and al pastor. We went here when we first met as friends, and it's still one of our favorite places to go on dates :) This place doesn't take reservations and is first come first serve. There's usually a line out the door. If you go during busy dinner hours (anytime after 8:30pm), expect an hour wait. It's worth it!!!!!
Possibly the best fried chicken we've ever had. This whole-in-the-wall has delicious Cuban dishes like pica pollo (the fried chicken), arroz moro, and ropa vieja. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept card! Make sure to check if they're open because they close after 4 and re-open at 8pm.
