my fondest memory was following this really cute girl around. i was so bored and alone in madrid. i pretty much just walked around to pass the time. at one point i thought she was following me. but then we stumbled upon each other again, so i just decided to follow her... from a distance.

Alternative bar, complete with drag queen shows
by mesoblonda about X X X Cafe
A gay friendly bar with good energy and strong drinks. Nice mixed crowd with a nice selection of magazines available or just sit and people watch.
Drag queens perform in the basement on the weekend.
I ordered a Red Bull with vodka. The Red Bull, glass of ice and bottle of Absolut arrived at the table and then he began to pour, and pour...and pour! I had to tell him to stop pouring vodka! Now where in the US does THAT happen?! Dress as ya please!
