Madrid El Corte Ingles has a cafe on the top floor. Great view of Madrid for free. I was given that tip by locals one morning after playing records there, and I did do it, but I don’t remember much else due to lack of sleep. ---

I asked around in 2022 for Madrid music/food tips and got a couple of useful responses: \*btw Be.Lanuit DJs there too each month at [Absenta](https://www.instagram.com/absenta_club/) - a party at Cafe Berlin. Divides his time between Madrid and Ibiza now. * * * Hey! Nothing’s really that far in Central Madrid, Opera is pretty central! You’re right next to the Taproom under a restaurant called Terra which has some good beer! There are better drinking places, like Be Hoppy (the owners love their old ska and golden age hip hop) and La Maripepa, both places in Barrio de las Letras near the Prado. Lots of stuff round Malasaña. Siroco club was good, the sound system was great but depends on the DJ I guess… Parenthood killed my clubbing days but when old schoolmates came out four years or so I went to a great Northern Soul night in Lavapies, can’t remember the name sadly… Record shops around, best second hand shops are probably La Metralleta downstairs off Callao (a short walk from Opera) for second hand stuff, Bajo El Volcan in Lavapies for new & second hand, Killers for second hand stuff in Montera between Sol & Gran Via… Escridiscos has some interesting stuff, new & second hand off Callao and La Gramola near there has a mix of overpriced second hand stuff and tat. Just go down the road to La Metralleta which appears to be in an underground carpark or something. Fácil & Corte Inglés near there also have lots of new vinyl but probably nothing you can’t get in BCN. The Rastro, the flea market on Sunday has a few record stalls down by where the kids swap stickers and where they sell old magazines… There’s a reggae and (I think) dance shop called Liquidator up near the Tirso de Molina end of Lavapies, never got round there but it’s meant to have a good selection, if you’re that end check into La Tienda de La Cerveza near La Latina metro, good lads in there, it’s actually a bar not a shop… If you get to Be Hoppy it actually closes at 9 or something, there’s a guy from Manchester called Darren who works there * * * Sam Jones (GDN correspondent) provided some excellent food tips too: This place is really nice but do book as it’s tiny: [https://shaogrill.com](https://shaogrill.com) Not any central but very good Jordanian/middle eastern food: [https://beytnarestaurante.com/en/](https://t.co/PjYaZN5bzo) Pricey but best Indian we’ve found in Madrid - plus amazing decor and a DJ: [https://havelimadrid.com](https://t.co/rah4YUpSxO) > **[La Lupita: Exquisita comida mexicana en Madrid](https://t.co/s4gJiMjjDY)** > > Vive una experiencia culinaria única en La Lupita, donde los sabores auténticos de México se encuentran con la elegancia y el servicio excepcional.

Hey all! I’m heading to Madrid, then Seville, then Valencia, then back to Madrid again in the end of November/beginning of December. Any suggestions other than (or reinforcing) the above welcome! Especially the better record shops!
