I'm pretty darn sure LATINA is the closest metro stop - and it's QUITE CLOSE too.

I really liked the Cervecería San Andrés, in the shadow of San Andrés Church. The terraza is quite large, probably having 30 tables or maybe more. The restrooms are inside and downstairs. The food and drinks seemed pretty cheap too as this place is off the tourist map.

Also, check out the April 16, 2004 Party With MadridMan in Madrid thread HERE where you'll see links to some photos of the place.

Enjoy! Wish I could attend. Saludos, MadridMan

Hi Chrissiij! I hope things are better in your neck of the woods.We are all mourning this terrible London tragedy.

I read your vivid description of what you went thru on that day and I sure hope that you can make it to Madrid for some distraction.Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.Have fun in Madrid!

Hi,

Thank you for your kind words. I am just grateful that I managed to kick myself out of bed early for a change, so I could stay on the bus all the way to Tottenham COurt Road, rather then get on the piccadilly line, which wouold have placed me at Russell Square at the same time as the explosion.

I am still reading yesterdays papers today, looking in disbelief and horror at the carnage. I can only imagine what these people went through and I think they are all so brave and deserve our respect.

I fully intend to go to Madrid next saturday, if anything can help me feel a little better, then it is the city of Madrid.

Chrissiij, likewise we have kept the people of the UK in our thoughts. Plan to see you and the others on the 16th. Wishing you a wonderful trip back to Madrid.

So it's final, eh? Cervecería San Andrés 8pm. Cool! Have fun!

Saludos, MadridMan

Hey, my mom and I were at the cerverceria san andres from about 815pm to about 930 and did not see anyone from MM, we even approached a couple of tables. was anyone else there?
Anyway, too bad it didn´t turn into a get together, but my mom and i had a great time tasting tapas and cañas down the cava bava!

maybe next time!

That's a shame, laduque. It's been my experience that only about 50% of those "confirmed" will attend. Unfortunately you did better than that with 100%. hehehe... Too bad. Now is when you'll the reasons as to why those "confirmed" couldn't make it - which I'm sure are all true. hehehe... Oh well. People are people.

Still, glad to hear you and your mother enjoyed yourselves.

Saludos, MadridMan
