Madrid ★★★

Chamberi Alonso Martinez station

$$ (~120–160€/night)

✓ Neoclassical palace on Plaza Alonso Martinez — architecture that turns heads
✓ The Library Cocktail Lounge on the ground floor and two terraces with city views
✓ Booking 9.6 location score — one of the best-located hotels in all of Madrid

Pro tip: Book the two-floor tower suite — it occupies the palace's original cupola

Madrid ★★★

Spanish Modern Tapas

Chamberi Alonso Cano station

$$$ (60+)

Industrial butcher-style design with creative tableside preparations

Specialty: Modern Spanish tapas with theatrical finishing touches

Pro tip: Try Rolex (bacon, foie, truffle, egg) or confited artichoke

Mexico City ★★★

Mexican Tacos

Coyoacan Coyoacán station

$ (~10 USD)

Hidden gem inside Mercado Coyoacán. Ancestral techniques, artisan ceramics, zero pretension

Specialty: Authentic Mexican — pork belly tacos, squash blossom quesadillas, guac with chapulines

Pro tip: Arrive early — they close at 5:30pm and sell out. Queue moves fast

Madrid ★★

Wines

Retiro Goya station

Classic spanish bar with space outside

Specialty: Beers, wine and good quality of ham and cheese

Pro tip: Good option if you go to a music concert in the Wizink center. Try the galician empanada
