TRAVEL

Madrid in 24 hours? Challenge accepted. If you’re short on time but big on vibes, here’s how to do Spain’s capital my way—chic, cultural, and unforgettable!

Stay: The Madrid Edition Because let’s be honest—I’m a sucker for a good Edition hotel. The moment you walk in, it’s sleek, sexy, and central. You’re steps from Gran Vía and the historic city center, and the rooftop views? Unreal. It’s modern Madrid with all the five-star feels.

 Eat: Eating Europe, Not Your Average Tapas & Wine Tour If you’re in Madrid for just a day, this tour is a must. Ask for Carolyn Mitchell as your guide! No tourist traps here—just authentic flavors in cozy, tucked-away spots.

The highlight? The juiciest champiñones al ajillo (garlic mushrooms) I’ve ever had, paired with a crisp glass of vermouth. Add in a bit of jamón, a stop at a historic bodega, and some sweet locals guiding the way—it’s a foodie dream with a side of storytelling.

Shopping: El Corte Inglés If you have time, definitely stop by El Corte Inglés on Serrano — it’s one of the best shopping spots in Madrid! Just be warned: your wallet might not make it out alive
