72 Hours in Madrid
This AvidTravellers Madrid experience is loaded with insightful remarks and great experiences. Here is a summary of the journeys discoveries:
Late in 2024 a fast 72-hour vacation to Madrid with buddies was the ideal excuse to delve into the city's abundant heritage. Our hotel, positioned in the heart of the city on Cal base to find Madrid's iconic landmarks and savour its gastronomic thrills. As we roamed through the city's vibrant plazas, we absorbed the transmittable energy and historic significance that surrounded us.
Our group's varied preferences resulted in various activities. Suzanne and Richard began the very firstday one night with a memorable dinner at Bodega de los Secretos, a cozy, centuries-old restaurant filled with beauty. The following my better half and I signed up with a tapas and red wine walking tour led by the passionate Mario. We checked out a number of regional hotspots. I was faScinated by the Meson de Champinon, a bar restaurant that specialised in mushrooms and only mushrooms.
Day three was all about cooking, with Pamela and Bill organizing a paella masterclass at the luxurious Ritz Mandarin Oriental. Chef Oliver Menendez assisted us through the complexities of making conventional Valencian paella and black rice with squid and lobster. The experience was coupled with tastings of local sherries and white wines, making it one of the journey's highlights.
We rounded off the weekend with a see to Teatro Flamenco Madrid. This intimate location showcased the raw emotion and charm of flamenco dancing, providing a perfect cultural capstone.
Throughout the trip, we enjoyed extraordinary meals at regional restaurants like Casa Verona and Casa Alberto, where we enjoyed genuine Spanish dishes such as anchovies in olive oil, croquettes, and even the well known calamari sandwich. The Mercado de San Miguel was another standout, offering a glance into Spain's abundant cooking traditions.
