Azotea del Círculo
One of the most traditional Madrid terraces, the Círculo de Bellas Artes azotea, in the heart of Madrid, offers spectacular views of the city in different environments – and is even more special in the late afternoon, with a beautiful drink at sunset.
MADRID WITH DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN
In the rural area, Madrid is as tasty as in the urban area. Its wine production from Arganda, Navalcarnero, San Martín de Valdeiglesias and El Molar has D.O. Vinos de Madrid (https://vinosdemadrid.es/). The region is also a large producer of olive oil and olives and all these products can be found in the city's markets or in stores like Gourmet Experience Goya.(Calle de Goya, 85), La Chinata (Calle Mayor, 44) e Lavínia (Calle Mayor, 44).
