Design Madrid
Brittany
Madrid may not have Barcelona’s reputation for excellence in design, but its broad sweep of architectural history provides a glorious backdrop to city life, from medieval mansions and royal palaces to the unimagined angles of Spanish contemporary architecture, from the sober brickwork and slate spires of Madrid baroque to the extravagant confections of the belle époque. En fin, Madrid done right never disappoints.
This itinerary outlines the best way to spend a few days exploring Madrid with a range of restaurants and activities to choose from. Everything you need in one place so you can focus on enjoying your trip without the stress.

Taller Puntera
@brittanya
On a quiet square near Madrid’s Plaza Mayor is Taller Puntera, a leather shop with a unique twist. The designers and artists behind the shop’s contemporary products are hard at work in their workshop in the back of the store, while you browse the products at the front. It makes every purchase feel more personal, because you’ve seen where it was made and the hands that made it. It’s a great place to pick up a new satchel, handbag, wallet or purse. The shop also runs weekend leather workshops, in which participants can learn how to make their very own leather product to take home – a unique Madrid memento.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Brittany
Hey! I'm an adventurer/ super planner with a taste for good food and a coffee vice that sometimes feels slightly unhealthy :)
I'm currently living in Madrid, Spain, but have lived in several cities across Europe, North America and (for a brief stint) in the Carribbean. You're in safe hands here as I am a food tour guide here in Madrid, and I take my food very seriously! (Link to the tour is inlcuded in my bio)
I'd love to share some of my favorite places with you from along my travels, and personally know the benefit of having a little extra assistance in trip planning. Sometimes you just don't have the time or connection with a local to truly find the best spots, and if you've traveled all the way, you might as well see somewhere great!
Here are some of the services I offer:
-Personalized recommendations based on your preferences ($15 and up)
-Bespoke itineraries to suit the needs of your trip ($40 per day, includes full day's planning with directions, activities and food/ drinks)
-Travel Consult Calls (Discuss how to best approach your trip, clear up any travel doubts and gain peace of mind, etc. $30 for 45 minutes)
-DIY Food Tour Route Planned for you with food recommendations featuring the local cuisine ($50)
