Travel tips in Madrid

It is very typical to go to La Latina on Sunday at lunchtime for takin some beer or wine with some "tapas".

This centrally located plaza has free wifi. Unfortunately the plaza is a monstrous construction of cement and isn't a very comfortable place to hang out, but there are some restaurants facing it where you can sit and have a drink while you do your wifi deeds.

Take a peek out the window of the metro between Bilbao and Iglesia stops on the metro (line 1, light blue). You'll see that there's a beautifully preserved old metro station. I thought it was just a gorgeous but unused relic, but it turns out that it's a museum! You can visit for free or sneak a peek every time you go by on the metro as I do.

This classical school has one of the most secluded and nice terraces in Madrid. You dot´t need to study German to go there and you can enjoy a more than correct "Menu del Dia". Sometimes food has sort of German air.

One impressive building at Gran Via, the most majestic street in Madrid, hides a secret: apart from being a meeting center for Army people, it also has a restaurant. It used to be exclusive for Army members and relatives but today, it´s opened to anyone who knows it. Restaurant offers "menu del dia " served by well-dressed waiters in white fabric tablecloths.
