Casa Alberto

As you walk down Calle Huertas you’ll spot the wooden red pannels that decorate Casa Alberto.

The Literary Quarter, which was home to some of the most famous writers of the Golden Age, is one of my favourite parts of Madrid. I like to stroll through its streets, popping into the vintage shops and those antique stores where you’re always sure to find some unexpected gem from times gone by: a book, a poster, some furniture… Sometimes, though, all you need to do to find something that really takes your fancy is keep your eyes open as you walk around. If you’ve ever wandered down the lively Calle Huertas, you’re sure to have noticed a lovely red façade bearing the name Casa Alberto. I encourage you to drop in; this place is more than a tavern, it’s a historical treasure.
