Santiago Bernabéu Stadium
@melinnewyork
If you're lucky enough to be in Madrid during the fútbol season (Aug - May), grab a Real Madrid jersey and go to a game. If out of season, you can consider a tour.

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
@melinnewyork
Large museum where you can easily spend a few hours. 20th century Spanish art if you're looking for your Picasso / Dali fix. When in Spain!

Corral de la Moreria

The best flamenco in Spain is notoriously in Seville, but this will do the trick.

Drink:
Casa Camacho
@melinnewyork
Madrid is known for its Vermouth. Casa Camacho is a hole in the wall, mostly standing room only establishment that has been around for almost 100 years. Order a Yayo.
