ATOCHA. The original owner, a bullfighter, took the tapas bar's name in honor of his son who was killed in the ring. The walls still display bullfighting paraphernalia, and the conversation within often turns to the best bullfighters. You can order from a slew of different tapas, including garlic soup or smoked fish montaditos and the salad comes free with your drink. The friendly environment is sure to please.

CENTRO. Casa Labra has special historical significance because the Spanish Socialist party was established here in 1879. When you enter, you'll get the impression that the dark wood interior and Spanish-style décor appears to have changed very little over the past 100 or so years, and this just adds to the tavern's charm. Even today, the restaurant still maintains a special place in the hearts and of Madrid's locals and visitors. In addition, their stomachs do not forget its great tapas menu and traditional Spanish cuisine that features cod fritters. METRO: Sol.
