Places Not to Miss
Calle Ponzano
The street for foodies seems to become the
coolest street for tapas and lunch. Anywhere
you go, you’ll get a nice surprise. Local fa-
vorites here are Sala de Despiece, the pop-
ular Fide , yummi pizzas at Picsa, and last
but not least La Contraseña. Therefore, do
not worry if you head to Ponzano street
without a reservation; any of those places
will be a good choice and you can go back
any time to try the rest of them.
CaixaForum
CaixaForum Madrid is a museum and cul-
tural center in Paseo del Prado 36, Madrid.
This extraordinary structure near the south-
ern end of the Paseo del Prado is one of
Madrid’s most eye-catching and certainly
one of its most unusual architectural inno-
vations. The brick edifice is topped by a
summit of rusted iron. On an adjacent wall
is the jardín colgante, a lush vertical wall of
greenery. Inside there are four floors of
exhibition and performance space awash in
stainless steel and with soaring ceilings.

Calle Argensola
Calle Argensola has everything you need
for a great shopping spree: famous bou-
tiques, local designers, cafes and coffee
shops. While you are in Spain the best
thing to do would pay more attention at
local brands like Uterque, El Corte Ingles,
Jorge Vazquez, Ailanto and so on. Don’t
hesitate and find something from Spanish
trends that suits you and take this piece of
the sunny country back home.
Mercado de Motores
Once a month, El Mercado de Motores
takes over an old train museum in down-
town Madrid for a unique flea market
experience. Independent collectors and
designers set up vintage stands right along-
side Madrid’s old trains, creating a mix of
20th century charm with cluttered trea-
sure madness. It sells everything from
current designer items, chic furniture, rare
art and even retro pieces, plus it also offers
tons of outstanding food, a happening
outdoor space, and free live music.
