Spain
Madrid
Late dinners, honest tapas, no performance.
A note from the editor
My solo trip around the world began in Madrid, mostly to learn Spanish, since the city had a reputation as just a layover to “more interesting” places like Barcelona. But three months in, with a few kind insiders’ help, I found how underappreciated it really was. I made this guide so you can eat and drink your way through Spain.
