This is a must when you visit Madrid. Whether it's to soak up the sun, to take in the colours of the fall, to feel the melancholy of winter or the joy of spring. At the northern end of the park you can't miss the huge boating lake, where you can enjoy the monument to King Alfonso XII from the water. The Crystal Palace nearby is also worth visiting.

The Atocha building is beautiful seen from the outside, but the real wonder hides inside. A minor rainforest, with full-size palmtrees stretching their leafs towards the roof covering the giant hall. A spectacular contrast to all the iron and the marketstalls underneath. You will also find a small pond crowded with hundreds of turtles.

If you're lucky you'll see them handpulling the noodles. It's curious to see how - without using anything else but their hands, some flour and water - they manage to produce metres and metres of noodles. Don't be put off by the surreal decoration - I think this restaurant used to be a cocktail bar - the noodles are worth your visit.

To try it many authentic southern tapas as you can eat for a very decent price in a truly nice local atmosphere. The jamon is divine, the fish as well. Football fans you won't be deceived, the walls are covered with South of Spain's clubs.

It's usually crowded after 21h of Spanish or exchange students since you can get easily full by ordering one drink if the group is 4 people. Food is not the best quality but helps when you are starving and don't want to spend a lot.
