Areas:
Centro
Centro is the geographical and historical heart of Madrid. A maze of medieval streets surrounds Plaza Mayor, Madrid’s grand main square, lined with gorgeous, centuries-old architecture. The Royal Palace marks the west border of Centro, while to the north, the main shopping area.
La Latina
La Latina is south of Centro, is known for its attractive architecture, Madrid’s largest flea market (Sundays), and its excellent tapas bars, many of them clustered along Calle de Cava Baja. The attractions in Centro and Retiro are a 10 to 15-minute walk from La Latina, which is a popular barrio for kicking off an evening tapas bar crawl.

The gym is small but the staff is very helpful and it’s clean. You get WiFi and normally in mornings and lunch time is not so crowded. It is a familiar gym club, after a few day you already know some faces.
Desserts:
Salt in Cake
The have amazing cinnamon rolls for less than 4 euros and very friendly staff !

They make a very strong case for being the best gelato in Madrid. If you're going out for gelato you need to visit this place. They have quite a number of very off the wall flavors that are absolutely delicious and surprising.
Drinks:
La Kama Café (Tropical Fresh Cocktail Bar)
Great place for a coffee, a beer, glass of wine or whatever you fancy drinking! Generally reasonably busy at any time of the day so there is always a decent atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced.
ZAFYRO Cocktail Bar
The themed drinks are great and the presentation is simply amazing! The bartender was super fun and lively! We ordered multiple shots but were also given several free shots!
