"La Warner"
by Gaby_G
I had such a wonderfull time at this theme park! I went there at the end of october, the place was almost empty so I had the oportunity to ride all the atractions (also the water atractions... although the day was cold :) ) ....
My tips for the park...
1) Dont lose your time in "El hotel embrujado" line... the atraction is boooring and the line is criminal....
2) Try to have lunch before or after "lunch time"... You will have to wait in line the same as to ride an atraction... Also the food is REALLY expensive...
3) There are "fast passes" but you will have to pay for them... Ask at the entrance.
No tips
by IIGUANA
As you might have heard, people in Spain are quite relaxed. For that matter, going to a restaurant can be annoying if you're used to quick service. Watiers take hours to have your order and thousands of hours to bring your order which was... by the way.... not what you asked for. So relax. It's simply like that. Breath and order all over again. Probably once you taste the great food you'll forget about it.
Some waiters can be very annoying, and some can be very rude. And for that matter, nobody tips them, so do the same. Although it has been an excelent job, give out the tip to the waiter. And don't feel bad about not tipping. They're not expecting it either.
Ritz
by alcalacurro
The Ritz is one of the most elegant, aristocrat, and best gastronomic hotel in Madrid or in all Spain. Is situated in the Paseo del Prado in front of the Prado´s museum and near Cibeles´ fountain. If you want to eat there you have to be full dressed but since few years, directors have wanted the Ritz can be more reasonable and approchable for more people.
In my family, one time in the the year, always is Christmas (cause the decoration), we go to have chocolate or coffee to one of the best hotels in Madrid that´s why five or six years ago I had been there.
But last week my chamber group an me besides all our families and some of our best friends were there cause there was a charitable act. Protagonists were children in Honduras who don´t have enough to eat, to be educated and finally to live. The act started with the Pachelbel´s canon which was played by us besides other Beethoven and Haydn compositions which were played during the night, always by my chamber music group.
Furthermore, there were a choir and some words written by the directors and an old and lovely woman writer pleasantness with some appetizers.
All night was really wonderful.
Art Supplies
by Lorro about Artesania Chopo
Some people have asked where to get art supplies in Madrid. This place is a standard and right in the center so its easy to get to. Its right on Calle Huertas. Here you can get paper, pens, paint and lots of other stuff.
top class flamenco perfomance
by mindcrime about CAFÉ DE CHINITAS
There are a lot of places to see flamenco in Madrid. This one is the most famous and the performances here is top class.
If you want to eat you can go there from 21:00 but preffered to save the money for some tapa bars so I dont know about their cousine. The show usually starts at 22:30 and lasts til 01:30 with a small break. Some of the dancers were amazing.
It’s better to make a reservation because there are always locals and tourists inside. Café de Chinitas is closed on Sundays.
Oh yes, the sangria was great! ;)
The place is amazing itself, situated in an old palace and we standing for a while at the entrance looking at the decoration and the old furniture around. Then we went up to the first floor where the show takes place.
Here's my small video
