Plaza de Santa Ana

posted by cjardine on 15 June 2011 at 09:39

Known as the heart of literary Madrid this was my favourite spot in the city. You can just sit on one of the lovely cafes or bars, read and watch the world go by it's just perfect. Don't forget to hang about for tapas too!!

Metro Sol or Anton Martin but you've got a bit of a walk from either

Tapas-El Rastro

posted by jhanford on 5 October 2010 at 16:37

The fleamarket in this area might be famous and popular with the tourists but we followed the locals and ate tapas on a "walk with beverages" aka bar crawl. Before we got too inebriated I definitely remember the best tapas ever, although I forgot the name of the best place, all the ones we tried were pretty great.

El Tigre

posted by pcrissman on 6 July 2009 at 06:26

This tapa and ale bar is near the Gran Villa, a very upscale shopping street in Madrid, and serves generous portions for a small price. It is in a rural setting and a good break from the glitz. You can find it at map coordinates latitude:40.4204826355 and longitude: -3.6989569664 if you have a GPS unit. The Madrid Sevillo as well as the Gran Via Metro stations are also about 1/10th of a mile from the restaurant.

Plaza Mayor

posted by doyerdog on 15 June 2009 at 02:54

Madrid’s Plaza Mayor has the look and feel of the quintessential plaza of Old Europe. It’s the perfect place in the city centre to kick back and sip on some Spanish wine, munch on some tapas, and just take it all in. If you can arrange it so you’re there around dusk, that’s an amazing time to soak it up. Loads of people are out (both locals and tourists), and no matter which direction you’re looking…pristine visages await you. There’s plenty of affordable hotels and hostels within walking distance, and safety and security is a given.
