Only 20 minutes away by metro from Puerta del Sol stands the Faro de Moncloa, a 110-metre tower with 360 degree views across the urban landscape of Madrid and the Guadarrama mountain range. This former lighting tower, designed by architect Salvador Pérez Arroyo, was built in 1992 to mark Madrid’s year as European Capital of Culture.

Yes. We know. You cannot escape the world of the hipster, plastic-framed glasses and posing. In fashion, street markets, in all the shops, all the places to go, and just about everywhere. But, let’s face it, if you belong to the generation in its thirties, still go to festivals, used to go out in Malasaña when you were […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/06/06/malasana-with-the-little-ones-2/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/are-there-any-mummies-here/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/are-there-any-mummies-here/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:43:57 +0000 Laura Ceballos http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=585

I recently enjoyed a family day-out with my friend Almudena de Benito, architect and creator of Chiquitectos (an architectural workshop for kids), and her son Martín who, together with Manuela, my daughter, could easily have passed for a 21st century Anthony and Cleopatra if they hadn’t both been wearing their break dancer gear. The advantage of […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/are-there-any-mummies-here/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/01/23/tarde-de-churros/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/01/23/tarde-de-churros/#respond Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:59:34 +0000 Laura Ceballos http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/es/?p=363

One of the things we most like doing here at home is going out for churros and hot chocolate. Now they’ve become very famous and they’ve travelled all the way to Asia, to countries like China, where they eat them in their own way. We, like good Madrid girls, go to Chocolatería San Ginés, in […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/01/23/tarde-de-churros/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/01/14/eternal-showcases/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/01/14/eternal-showcases/#respond Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:08:05 +0000 Laura Ceballos http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=487

Our most authentic and longstanding Madrid boasts many hidden treasures, and not all involving food. Ok, so lots do involve food, but we have plenty of other options. Today’s log is all about espadrilles, shoes, boots and other kinds of footwear. And it’s not just for the girls! One such gem is Casa Hernanz, a […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/01/14/eternal-showcases/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2012/12/07/hadas-en-el-jardin/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2012/12/07/hadas-en-el-jardin/#respond Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:42:46 +0000 Laura Ceballos http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/es/?p=372

Madrid is a city with a lot to discover in the company of children. There are many, many things I like about Madrid. One of them is its wonderful bright blue sky, dotted with clouds that make it look like a Velázquez painting, especially in autumn. There are many versions of Madrid, of course! I’ll […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2012/12/07/hadas-en-el-jardin/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2012/10/04/de-puro-capricho/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2012/10/04/de-puro-capricho/#respond Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:20:17 +0000 Silvia Roba http://88.84.77.135/blog/es/?p=186

At the last Madrid Fashion Week, Josep Font, designer of the Jesús del Pozo collections, chose El Capricho Park for his runway show. As a result, many people discovered one of the city’s prettiest, most romantic and idyllic parks. A great unknown.
