Puerto de la Morcuera (mountains)
by SirRichard
If you have a car, this mountain pass close to Miraflores (a little town in the north mountains) is a good place to go and see the snowy mountains in winter. Is just 1 hour away and is a good alternative to Navacerrada, always sooo crowded in winter weekends. Here U won't find ski slopes or cafeterias, just nature and woods, so is less crowded.
To go, exit Madrid towards Colmenar, go on till Soto del Real and follow to Miraflores. From there take the road to "Puerto de Canencia and Rascafria".
If you don't have car, U better go to Navacerrada, U can go by train from Atocha or Chamartin (line 8b of "Cercanias" trains).

San Jose Church
by agarcia
Quite dull in the outside, and surprisingly elegant in the inside, the church of San Jose (early XIX century) has two remarkable qualities that probably make it worthy a visit. First, the church placement could not be more convenient (from the tourist point of view), as the church is right in the Gran Via street. Besides, the church acoustic is truly remarkable, and the church hosts many interesting concerts of camera music and chorus.
La Fontana de Oro
by vivalasteph about Irish pubs
I've heard that Madrilenos are not that thrilled with the Irish pubs that have moved into their city, and understand, but must share my happy experience at this pub. I stopped in on a Wednesday night for a pint of Murphy's and discovered the big screen down and the Blackburn-Liverpool match about to start. Ah, an oasis for an English footie fan!
Three pints later and I was saying "zhiiiss plaish iss ggreaaat."!
