Question

Are there trains from Madrid to Sigüenza?

Answer

*UPDATED ANSWER* It seems after further review and phone calls to the train station that the train options may not be as bleak as we once thought... There are a few "Regional Express" trains on Friday that take about 1.5 hrs and are seemingly reasonably reliable. With that said, we haven't taken them ourselves and are still hesitant to endorse them fully, especially if you're taking them on the day of the ceremony! If leaving for Siguenza on Friday, however, it's probably safe enough. We'll just keep our fingers crossed that there aren't too many delays!

Question

¿Hay trenes de Madrid a Sigüenza?

Answer

*NUEVA INFO* Después de indagar un poquito más en la opción de los trenes y llamar al mismo RENFE, nos han asegurado que sí hay trenes de Madrid a Sigüenza. Si vuestra idea es llegar el viernes al pueblo, entonces pensamos que sí es opción factible, ya que sólo tarda una hora y media y sale muy económico. Eso sí, el sábado sólo hay UN tren (sobre las 8:00) que llegaría a tiempo para la boda, entonces no es lo que recomendamos, además que cae en fin de semana y no podemos asegurar sus horarios.

Question

What’s the dress code for the wedding? // ¿Hay algo específico que tengo que tener en cuenta a la hora de elegir la ropa para la boda?

Answer

Formal/Cocktail. But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose. We do kindly ask that no one uses white or light beige for their attire. Thanks! // La boda será formal, pero también queremos que estéis cómodos, así que, realmente, como prefiráis! Lo que si pedimos es que nadie vaya de blanco o beige clarito...gracias!

Question

What can I do in Madrid? PART I: 'NEIGHBORHOODS'

Answer

Center (metro stops would be Sol and Sevilla, but there are many more): It's the most touristy part of the city. You have Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Gran Via and the old Royal Palace, as well as the "Barrio de las Letras", one of the oldest parts in town, where all of the most famous Spanish writers used to live at (Like Miguel de Cervantes). Malasaña (metro stop is Tribunal): The more hipster/edgy neighborhood, it has nice little shops, nice restaurants, and spots to eat as well as a nice night scene full of cool bars and "cool" people. Chueca (Metro stop is Chueca): It's right near Malasaña. It's considered to be the LGBT neighborhood, really good restaurants with a large variety of them, nice bars to go at night and also good little shops that are not big retail chains. Barrio Salamanca (metro stops are Serrano, Velazquez or Goya): It's the upscale neighborhood, with Serrano street and Goya as the epicenter. There are boutique and luxury brands and good restaurants.

Answer

Center: Taberna los Gatos: Bar with an eclectic decor that is very "Madrid. Taberna del Chato: little bites/tapas served in small wine glasses Lateral in Santa Ana: Great tapas restaurant chain.We suggest the "jamón" (cured ham) croquettes, the eggplant with salmorejo dip, as well as some toasts, definitely the Tortilla pincho (Spanish omelet) and the oxtail one. Mercado de San Miguel: a gastro market, the downside is that it gets full of tourists and it's uncomfortable, but there are nicer gastro markets in town that are less touristy and great Restaurante Botín: the oldest restaurant in the world. Everyone who comes to Madrid has it on their bucket list. Their specialty is Cochinillo asado =roast suckling pig) Casa Lucio: One of the everlasting star restaurants in Madrid, any international celebrity goes there and has Lucio's famous "broken" eggs with fries, it's more expensive than your average place, it's a traditional place. Cafetería San Ginés: the oldest and best churros cafe
