Stay In Madrd Hotels To Explore The Best Of Spanish Cuisine, Culture And Architecture
Madrid does not have a scenic setting beside a river, lake or coast, it is landlacked in the centre of Spain. But what the city lacks in geographical terms, it makes up in its architecture, culture and cuisine. In Madrid you’ll be astonished by the number of impressive buildings, of contrasting styles. Tourists will be overwhelmed by the beauty of the royal palace or the grandeur of Almudena cathedral sitting in a beautiful open square. The bonus is that the best sites are not too far from an abundance of Madrid hotels suitable for all budgets.
A visit to the Museo del Prado is a must-see. After you’ve done this, wander down to the Parque del Buen Retiro and havea relaxing picnic in the Madrid sunshine. Among the best sites in the gardens are the monument to Alfonso XII that sits beside the lake, or the Palacio de Cristal, a century old glass pavilion that is a modest architectural gem. The grand old gardens and parks in the centre, are surrounded by some conveniently located Madrid hotels. Stay in these to gain unbeatable views over the scenic parks.
For those looking for tapas with an amalgamation of flavours and textures, head to the restaurants on the outskirts of the Madrid. Although tapas bars can be hit-and-miss, there is the odd oasis of excellence. There are some brilliant hotels around one of Madrid’s oldest neighbourhoods – La Latina. Here you’ll find lively bars and some of the best tapas restaurants in Spain. Casa Lucas on Calle de la Cava Baja has a great selection of tapas to choose from, as does Juanalaloca. Here you’ll find an excellent potato omelette and grilled chorizo, definite must-haves for visitors seeking to try traditional Spanish cuisine.
For those that are looking for excellent food, architecture and art all in one place, Madrid will not disappoint. It would be impossible to be bored in this vibrant city, with so much to do, eat and see.
