I was born and raised in Madrid but also spent a few of my younger years in New York.
My favorite food in the city is a calamares sandwich, crispy and tender, simple yet so satisfying!
My favorite thing to do in the city is to explore Madrid's neighborhoods discovering new food stops along the way. I also love a nice stroll through the beautiful Retiro park.

Born and raised in the city, I have only spent 6 months of my life out of it. Official guide who loves food, wine, art and history and, tradition, five matters which go really well together.
If I had to live forever with only one dish. I would choose a good Cocido. And if I could choose another, I would go for tasty milk Torrija.
Tips for Madrid: In addition to the great offer of restaurants and bars in areas such as Latina, Chueca, or Letras, I would not miss the Ibiza area, which has a fantastic offer of restaurants, too, which can be combined with a nice walk in Madrid's lung, Retiro Park.

I was born and raised in this beautiful place called Madrid. I’m passionate about how vibrant and charming this city is, with its perfect mix of cultures, history, tradition, and modernity.
My favorite dish in the entire city? Patatas bravas! Nothing connects me more to Madrid than this humble yet flavorful dish. Oh, and by the way, I always share!
There are two Madrids: the one right in front of you and the one above you. Look up, and you’ll find incredible architecture

I was born in the US but moved to Spain in 2013 to study. Besides learning Spanish, I fell in love and decided to stay! I've always worked in the food industry and as food and wine lover, I found a way to do so in Spain too.
My favorite food in Madrid is cocido Madrileño. It's perfect for staying warm during cool days in the winter and provides the fuel needed for exploring the colorful streets of Madrid.
My advice for getting the most out of Madrid is to explore its rich bar culture. Don't be afraid to go into a bar that looks too full or intimidating. Pro tip, if the bar is full of old men, go there!
