A Hedonist's guide to Madrid


Hg2 Madrid explores a city whose nightlife is second to none. Discover the much under-rated Spanish cusine both through some of the finest restaurants and more local tapas bars and how to party like a true Madrileno.

Not only does Madrid appeal to the party animal and the gourmet, but the culture vulture as well, home to three of Spain's most complete art collections at the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofia. While you're there why not enjoy some sport and plan a trip to see los galacticos of Real Madrid.
