Hey,
I just signed onto this site, it's excellent. I'm heading to Madrid for a week in September to attend a friends wedding. Me and two friends have rented an apartment on Calle de San Francisco. Is this a good area ? And can anyone suggest any good bars ? I'm meeting up with a bunch of friends I went to high school with in Denmark and we all like catching up over a few beers.
Thanks.

Ummmhhh not enough information. Is it?:
Carrera de San Francisco? Gran Via de San Francisco?, Calle San Francisco El Grande?, Plaza San Francisco?, Paseo San Francisco de Sales?

Sorry

Andres,
Sorry for my incomplete address, the apartment is on Carrera de San Francisco.

Hi ColinK! Welcome to our little message board!

I'll leave the neighborhood description to the Madrileños, but if you have the exact address you can plug it into http://fotos.qdq.com and take a virtual photo/map tour of the address and surroundings. Have a GREAT time!

Saludos, MadridMan

Umhhhhh many good tapas bars there and about 30 wine bars. That is about 85% of the wine bars in Madrid. It is hard to find a bad bar or restaurant in that area unless you really set to it. It is a good area. Your street is where one of the doors to the town used to be eight hundred years ago.

Go to the Retiro,Prado and the Royal Palaces i recomend also taking a stroll into the bars etc or restuarants relax and have some thing to eat (which you will obviously do any ways)also a good way to check out the city is actually at night we left the house at about 11-12 oclock we drove all over the place with no traffic its a great way to get an idea about the city all though their could be some weirdos around and your pictures come out bad.

Andres,
Carrera de San Francisco sounds great.
How can I find it on a map?
What is the are/nearest Metro stop?



Is it near Plaza San Francisco/San Francisco el Grande?

Noytor go to Plaza de la Paja. That´s the center of the Madrid of the Wines.

Colin,

If you're near the Plaza de la Paja, in the middle of La Latina district, do not miss: El Almendro, on cl Almendro 13., Delic on Costanilla de San Andrés, 14; and Berlin Cabaret ( www.berlincabaret.com ). Also the summer rooftop terrace of El Viajero, on Plaza de la Cebada, 11.

¡Qué os divirtáis!

when's the best time to arrive at Berlin Cabaret??
is it open on a Sunday or Monday?
