I love this whole paseo (street) - obviously the Prado is a must (love Las Meninas!), Correos, the Banco de España, Cibeles, if you wander into the beautiful Retiro park from here as well, it'll be your whole morning.

Grab a smorgasbord of tapas and pastries for lunch here - a sampling of Madrid's best!

Afterwards, treat yourself to world-famous churros & chocolate - this is not to be missed!

Have dinner at the world's oldest restaurant. Hemingway was a big fan - Botín is mentioned in "Death in the Afternoon".

A fun stop in the early evening - stroll through the artists' kiosks and take in the live music.

Ah, Madrid nightlife. 'Nuff said.
