Puerta de Alcala
s/n Plaza de la IndependenciaIconic landmark next to Retiro. Built in 1776
(Metro La Latina – Linea 5) One of my favorite
neighborhoods to visit, especially on Sunday. Spend your entire
afternoon jumping from one bar to the other eating affordable
tapas, having glasses of wine and enjoying the ambience.
Mojito specials are offered closer to midnight and you can
keep going a few hours into the night. If you do make it on a
Sunday get there around 3 pm (late lunch time) if you get there
earlier it will be a bit dead.
