There are many restaurants in Madrid that present traditional dishes from the region but that doesn´t mean that all of them do it properly. One of the more interesting ones where you can eat incredibly exquisite dishes for around 40 euros is La Buganvilla. La Buganvilla is a dining room situated in one of the most beautiful and stylish streets in the Spanish capital. The specialities are Mediterranean food in general and any dish with rice and they´re the ones which are the most asked for and with the best reputation. The ingredients which are used are all fresh of the day and the paella of La Buganvilla is one of the best in Madrid. The restaurant consists of a big area and then, many other smaller ones that, most of the times, are used by groups of people that meet or simply by people who want to it in a more relaxed way. The place is decorated in a maritime theme and nautical decoration accompanies the exquisite dishes that contain fish, which is also another speciality of the place. If you want to visit one of the most important restaurants in Europe you can get Madrid accommodation and enjoy some of the best...

Until the 29th of May, the CaixaForum in Barcelona is showing exhibition Videoinstalaciones The Casting – Nostalgia, by conceptual artist Omer Fast. The works belong to the Caixa Foundation´s Contemporary Art Collection, since a part of its ethos is showing these sorts of expressions of arts. Omer Fast was born in Jerusalem in 1972. He studied Fine Arts at Tufos University, and received a Masters at Hunter College. His interest for video installations grew from his ability to express complexity, and to interact with the spectator. The video installations are works of art which use the relation between the bi-dimensional character of the electronic image, and the tridimensional of the installation, into which he then inserts the image. This form of artistic expression hit the museums at the end of the 1990s, and was questioned for its materialism. Today, the style of art occupies an important place in art history, and some video installations have become important icons. Fast is known for being one of the most popular video artists amongst the art critics. His visual installations are characterised by a documentation of fiction – an often complex work that requires the creation of texts, which disrupt the story unfolding on the screens, engaging the spectator with the experimentation. The work Nostalgia is an interesting documentary, dramatised using a fictional story – where filmic narrative interferes with the representation of reality. The story is based on a conversation between Fast and an African immigrant seeking asylum in London. The fiction, based on a real part of his life, is interrupted with apparently repeating images throughout the course of the...

In all important cities in the world there´s a nightclub which is situated in a basement where they play the best electronic music in the city. That place in Madrid is called Coppelia 101, a club which will make everyone who is looking for the best local DJs have a great time. The interesting thing about Coppelia is that if you go in before 2am it´s free to go in (with passes although they´re easy to get) and automatically you will go down to the basement where the party appears by magic. The place is pretty big and dark but there are plenty of lights that accompany the music. The atmosphere is calm as well as fun and everyone will be in their own world without bothering absolutely no one. The drinks in the different bars are really affordable, therefore drinking a few beers with your friends or your other half won´t be a problem for your pocket. Also, on some weekends, the club brings foreign DJs and that´s when Coppelia explodes, fills up with people and the nights are longer and better. If you want to visit one of the most important clubs in the city you can get Madrid accommodation and not let this chance...

Cervecería El Tremendo is a small bar in the city of Sevilla but it´s famous in the whole region and tourists from all over the world come to the bar to sample its beers. Even though it´s only 10 sq metres big and that place is very small in general (the bar is small, the room is small, etc.) the place is famous for the quality of its well-served beer and because there isn´t a nicer beer in the whole of Spain. The people and the clients who come from all over the world buy a glass of its very cold beer and take it out to the sidewalk to drink, on San Felipe street. And this is what makes the place such a picturesque and attractive place. The beer brand is Arcoroc, but the secret is in the taps that pour it. These are old and made of copper and they are frozen so that the beer comes out always at its best temperature. Another secret is that the glass that they use to serve the beer in is called Cibeles and that is also something characteristic about El Tremendo. If you don´t want to miss out on the city´s party, get Seville accommodation and live Spain through the best beer in the...

If you like to party and you´re in Madrid there´s a particular place where you can´t not go, and that place is Joy Eslava, that in 1950 was a big theatre that the owners remodelled to give the Spanish capital one of its most important clubs. Being such a big place, as well as having space for people who want to go and party and dance until the early hours of the morning, the organisation also takes there some of the best underground (and not so underground) bands on the scene. Not long ago, bands like Devendra Banhart, The Wombats, Nacho Vegas, The Naked and The Famous and others performed on its stage. The place, being one of the most important and fun in Madrid, is full of people from all nationalities, not only local. For this reason, if you want to have fun and meet people from all over the world, this is undoubtedly your place at night. Joy Eslava is one of the most important clubs in Europe, old school style and it has been renovated constantly for the last 20 years. You can get Madrid accommodation and enjoy...
