If you’re on the lookout for wine, tapas and flamenco, you’ll love La Solera. Everything in here is designed to whet your appetite as you wet your whistle, from the jamón iberíco on the bar to the skillfully crafted tapas and extensive wine list. It’s possible that once you’ve eaten here, you’ll never cook at home again.

Veggie Food
Located steps from the Plaza Mayor, it promotes “high vegetarian kitchen”, but don’t let the translation scare you: the food is fresh and visually appealing. It’s strong on salads, and its menú del día (€10) won’t leave you hungry an hour later.

Relive la Movida
If you haven't been here, you really must go. A Madrid institution, La Sala Sol has been going since the movida, without losing any of its edge (or changing its decoration). Expect a crowd from every walk of life, crammed against each other till seven in the morning. Bands are rarely international, but really, being cool isn’t the point

This Club Rocks
Costello is great on Thursdays, try the upstairs lounge part for a chiller atmosphere and pretty people watching. Drinks aren't too expensive, and the music is good without being too loud. Downstairs, however, is another story. You feel a bit trapped in the dark, cavelike club, but get a few drinks in you and you'll be fine. The music is great: Britpop that gets even the shyest dancing. Check the website for live shows, it's a great place to see up-and-coming indie bands.
