Principal Hotel and restaurant Atico

Great building with great views, couldn't be better located!

Recommending a hotel and restaurant in Madrid is not always easy, as they are many options and a wide range of prices. However I have no doubt that if you want to feel the madrilian vibe in luxury, be well located ,  best views of town and a great restaurant inside by two Michelin Stars Ramón Freixa  named Atico, The Principal is one of the best options.

The building belongs to the French Ministry of culture and is named after painter Velazquez because the legend says he liked to paint from that same spot sunsets and mountain views.

Wine - La Carta de Vinos

Yesterday I was invited by Melona Ariza and Gonzalo Verdera to the presentation of some wines from Bodegas Luis Cañas and Bodegas Amaren at an amazing new space called La Carta de Vinos.
It came to life as an extension to web page todovino.com since they felt the need to have a place where clients would be able to taste, touch and feel their wines. Just opened two months ago and it is already a great success. Exquisitely decorated by Sandra Tarruella, they have over 500 different types of wine nicely exposed from floor to ceiling along the walls of this 500 square meters shop at the heart of Chamberi. All excellent wines with a varied range of prices. A great recommendation for wine lovers!!!
