Visiting without walking
by paoseo
If you want to see many places as you can....take the bus!!!! In Plaza Real there is a place where you can buy the ticket for the panoramic bus!There are 3 routes (modern,monumental and historic one) and cost 9,62 euro per 1 day (children 7-16 and people that are more then 65 spend 4,81)
WINES & 'TAPAS'

Just in the center of Madrid, you can find La Latina, the place where you can take wine and eat some special foods, without booking, only getting in some places. I recommend El Almendro, close to the Metro Station La Latina, in Almendro Street, or El Viajero. If you desire to enjoy yourself in a pub with spectacle: Berlin Cabaret is waiting for you. All these place are very close to Puerta del Sol, but perhaps it could be easy for you to get Metro (L-5) to La Latina Station.

Madrilean spanish goes very fast, its hard to keep track. madrileneans love to chat and since the invertion of the mobile phone you see them everywhere chettering. Mobiles are so popular that they find it normal to take them into restaurants and continuue their callings at the dinnertable. Even when they are dinning together with other people you see them on their mobile speaking loud supported with wild gestures. you might find it rude but it happpens in the best restaurants.

The roman viaduct is impressive and we were told that there had been no mortar used between the bricks
There is also a nice cathedral, and castle there. The design of this castle was used by Disneyland

If you´ve ever had the slightest interest in flamenco, you should make it a point to get here while in Madrid. It appeals to all your senses with its authentic setting, enthusiastic atmosphere, talented dancers, and delicious food! Casual but keep in mind that Spain´s definition of casual is a little classier than that of the US
