World Pride Madrid 2017 is drawing nearer, and this city is one of contrasts. It’s a city that changes from street to street and neighbourhood to neighbourhood. I’ve set myself the singular task of acting as a zone-by-zone guide to the essential spots in Madrid that you simply must visit.

Whoever you fall for and whoever you love, Madrid loves you. That’s why we’re the most tolerant city in the world with respect to LGBT rights. That’s why there are very few streets that celebrate diversity like ours. That’s why we’re an international standard-bearer for freedom. And that’s why you’re going to fall in love […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2017/01/09/11-ways-to-fall-in-love-with-madrid/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/06/10/madrid-is-the-new-berlin/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/06/10/madrid-is-the-new-berlin/#respond Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:28:35 +0000 Liam Aldous http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=1554

Yep. You heard it here first. The Spanish capital is experiencing a bit of a moment. Tough economic (not to mention political) times have spurred an awakening; driving more creativity, solidarity, and transformation on this city’s streets than ever. Berlin has been attracting the world’s drifting bohemian class for the better part of two decades, […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/06/10/madrid-is-the-new-berlin/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/04/19/lost-in-la-latina/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/04/19/lost-in-la-latina/#respond Tue, 19 Apr 2016 10:55:17 +0000 Liam Aldous http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=1469

La Latina is a labyrinth of bars, restaurants and bullish antiquarians. The sheer quantity of places on offer is staggering and, if you’re anything like me, when you enter into the over-filled fray you have absolutely no idea how to distinguish between the good and the bad. So why not consult the experts? While everyone […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/04/19/lost-in-la-latina/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/03/30/10-almodovar-madrid-movie-moments/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/03/30/10-almodovar-madrid-movie-moments/#respond Wed, 30 Mar 2016 10:39:13 +0000 Liam Aldous http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=1442

Pedro Almodóvar is set to release his latest film Julieta and once again the Spanish capital will be part of the characteristically eclectic backdrop. For decades, the Manchego maestro has weaved his cinematic stories through the streets of Madrid; capturing the city’s ever-changing tapestry of stark contrasts, colourful personalities and its gentle metamorphosis into a […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/03/30/10-almodovar-madrid-movie-moments/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/02/04/raising-the-bar-casa-dani/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/02/04/raising-the-bar-casa-dani/#respond Thu, 04 Feb 2016 11:40:56 +0000 Liam Aldous http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=1384

Madrid’s characterful old bars and tabernas are monuments in their own right. These living, breathing, drinking time capsules are as much a part of history as they are an enduring feature of daily life. In Madrid, bars are not merely drinking holes; they are ground-dwelling extensions of residents’ living-rooms. Places to meet, eat, chat, read, […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2016/02/04/raising-the-bar-casa-dani/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2014/01/29/sondag-i-la-latina/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2014/01/29/sondag-i-la-latina/#respond Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:39:29 +0000 Helle Harboe http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=915

I Aarhus, hvor jeg kommer fra, er søndag en HVILEdag i ordets bogstaveligste forstand. Byen ligger mere eller mindre øde hen og de få mennesker, man møder på gaden, har som regel bare sneget sig ud for at hente en sodavand eller noget fastfood, så der rigtigt kan hygges og slappes af derhjemme.

The way to my heart is most definitely through my stomach, and Madrid has won me over tapa after tapa. Tapas are generally small portions of food served in most typical bars and restaurants in Madrid and provide one of the easiest and most authentic ways to try out the capital’s traditional cuisine.
