Barrio de Malasaña
The heart of the most 'castizo' Madrid, perfect for day and night hanging out. Don't miss out these bars and clubs: Via Lactea, La Bicicleta, and obviously Tupperware, the place we met!
Barrio de La Latina
Another must in downtown Madrid, full of bars and restaurants. Visit La Cabra en el Tejado, Windguru Bar and El Mercado de la Cebada.
