This AvidTravellers Madrid check out is jam-packed with individual remarks and fantastic experiences. presented in this summary of the journeys sprcial moments:
In the Autumn of 2024, the AvidTravellrer embarked on a whirlwind 72-hour journey to Madrid with buddies, starting with a lively, history-filled city expedition. Walking through bustling squares, we immersed ourselves in the city's history and vibrant atmosphere.
Our group's varied preferences caused numerous activities. Suzanne and Richard started the firstday one evening with an unforgettable dinner at Bodega de los Secretos, a comfortable, centuries-old dining establishment full of charm. On day two my partner and I joined a tapas and red wine walking tour led by the passionate Mario. We visited a number of local hotspots. I was faScinated by the Meson de Champinon, a bar restaurant which serverd mushrooms and only mushrooms. They were delicious, as was the authentic sangria which came with the food. A venue which the vegetarian members of our group really liked!
The last day was all about cooking, with Pamela and Bill organizing a paella masterclass at the glamorous Ritz Mandarin Oriental. Chef Oliver Menendez directed us through the complexities of making conventional Valencian paella and black rice with squid and lobster. The experience was coupled with tastings of local sherries and white wines, making it among the journey's highlights.
We rounded off the weekend with a see to Teatro Flamenco Madrid. This intimate location showcased the raw feeling and beauty of flamenco dancing, supplying an ideal cultural capstone.
Throughout the trip, we took pleasure in memorable meals at local restaurants like Casa Verona and Casa Alberto, where we indulged in genuine Spanish dishes such as anchovies in olive oil, croquettes, and even the well known calamari sandwich. The Mercado de San Miguel was another standout, offering a peek into Spain's rich culinary traditions.
