TABERNAS.Six cool 'wine bars' to go wine in Madrid
Have you tried
the tranquility of Madrid in August
and are you one of those who always spend the summer in July? Or those who have to wait until September while others show off beach snapshots on Instagram? Is there no budget for trips or do you prefer not to risk Covid with cancellations? Have you decided that the trips will come later, when you can cross the pond, and will you stay to enjoy the community pool? Whatever your case, this month is the best time to
discover a city that never sleeps
.
Every summer, we usually prepare the best guide to our vacation destination, but we take less time to
kick everything that is around the corner
.
And what better excuse than to start dancing along the Prado-Retiro axis, recently named a World Heritage Site by Unesco, and to stop at the
exhibitions of those museums that are authentic jewels
and, however, go unnoticed by their neighbors.
Let's say I'm talking about Madrid and this August let's enjoy all those benefits that the verses of poets and singer-songwriters pray.
Here is a decalogue of suggestions (and one of them just an hour from the capital).
THE BEACH OF MADRID
See this post on Instagram
You no longer have to drive a minimum of three hours to step on the beach sand.
You can do it in
Madrid thanks to the urban Xiringuito
located in the most sporty and adventurous shopping center.
Without leaving Alcorcón we can climb, dive and surf in X-Madrid.
"Eat, drink and beach" is the motto of this
setting in the purest Californian style
(below is also La Cantina de la Ola).
Perfect for having a late cocktail listening to live music as if you were in a beach bar in Valencia.
And with photo instagramera by means of.

TRY AN ARABIC HAMMAM
See this post on Instagram
If you have not yet immersed yourself in the tradition of trying the Arab bath, why not now?
Historically, hammams were located near mosques and have a strong presence in Andalusia, but you can also find them in the capital.
Without going any further, in the middle of
Calle Atocha Hammam Al Ándalus Madrid
offers a special summer service.
Due to its dynamics, duration and capacity limitation, it
is offered only once or twice a day
.
At the threshold of the Hammam you will perform a welcome ritual after which you will go on to a 40-minute massage, deeply relaxing with manipulations at different pressures.
A combination of sounds, fabrics, temperatures and effects of connection and physical and mental relaxation.
The Arab bath lasts 80 minutes and the summer massage 40 minutes for 79 euros.

GLAMPING IN MADRID
See this post on Instagram
This small
rural hotel with casitas
is a haven of well-being to truly disconnect while listening to the rooster at dawn.
Alberto López, a lover of the mountains, and his dog Pongo could not be more hospitable.
This adventurer who first set up a restaurant and sold it and then an adventure company employing more than 10 people, decided to bet on
a quieter life that would allow him to have free time
building his own kingdom of tranquility in the middle of the National Park.
And we say build because this handyman makes absolutely everything in wood with very careful details.
Now they have just opened their tents or teepees, what they call
glamping
, and which is nothing more than
camping in a charming and charming place (and with little lights).

THE RACE IS IN FASHION
See this post on Instagram
It could be a perfect plan for a summer night to bet on your
jockey
and watch horse races, but in addition to that, this summer at the
La Zarzuela Racetrack in Madrid
there is more leisure atmosphere than ever.
On the
one hand, the chef
Nino Redruello
is
has moved to wide
to offer there his restaurant, the challenge well do without kitchen.
A closed menu at the foot of the slopes.
And on the other, Panthera, the
dinner and dance
(a dinner venue with a show and DJ) that everyone is talking about has opened its headquarters to animate the nights of the Hippodrome on Fridays and Saturdays.
A unique and different evening to roar to the rhythm of baffles, signature cocktails based on tequila and mezcal, the Nikkei cuisine of Luis Arévalo, the best views of the race track and
its own betting box office
.

'PONZANING', SAFE HIT
See this post on Instagram
Where to go out or where to send that friend who arrives in Madrid and seeks to feel welcomed?
To Ponzano, that place where it is practically impossible not to know someone!
In the long street there are numerous neighborhood taverns where you can have a wine and extend the conversation, but
if you want to go for a shot, don't hesitate to book at El Jefe Traveling Food
.
This place presided over by a
food truck
has a traditional menu but that touch of
modernity
in an inspiring decoration.
Order the croquettes, the omelette, the wild cuttlefish or the low-temperature bacon.
And stay all afternoon well at ease.

THE INTERESTING TERRACE
See this post on Instagram
We agree that
in Madrid there are many beautiful terraces to have a beer
with friends, but in El Patio de Mahou, which also has the charm of being ephemeral in the Fortuny Palace, that return to the meeting is celebrated with debates and colloquia with different personalities.
Lying on the grass and toasting has never been so interesting.
"It will become relevant, and from very different points of view, the importance of encounters between people, which make us live better, especially in the current context," explain the organizers.
And there are stands to harmonize that blonde with a poké bowl and refreshing ice creams.
