My personal recommendations
Food Scene
No frills restaurant. No design, no fancy just plain good food and tapas. Go for the "Menu del dia" set menu at noon, and get a great 3 course meal for less than 10€! including wine, bread and dessert.

Get seat by the window and see the world pass by, it is a nice place to have dinner. It is just across from the home building, so it is literally 1 minute walk distance. A Taberna is an old world for restaurant, and it does look that part, in a very elegant way. Food is great, a bit expensive but totally worth it!

If you want to try some Catalonian food go to this Can "Casa" Home Punyetes. They do great meat on the grill. Try the butifarra (home sausage) with beans, nice comfort food.

Peruvian Food is great, real Peruvian food is even better! Kechua is by far, the best Peruvian restaurant in the old city. Ceviche lovers are in heaven in this modest yet excellent restaurant. Tip: go for the set menu at noon (from Monday to Friday) and hit the jackpot by ordering Ceviche de Pescado, lomo Saltado, and a mean dessert with a beer and an appetizer all for 12€! A bargain!

If only for the deco, this old reconverted market is worth the visit, but step inside and wonder with the lush selection of the best Spanish food plus some international options such as sushi and pasta.
If you don´t mind the crowds go there on the weekends and feel the electric Madrid vibe, but if you rather prefer peace and quiet, stay away...

Don´t miss out this authentic village-style bakery, where you can find the best bread in Madrid. Most fine restaurants get their bread from this little hidden gem. You can also find delicious charcuteria and cheese from Galicia.
Go in the mornings when they have the best selection of bread.

It's a "happening" place, where you can find ten casual gourmet eating options, as well as many high end products, mainly from Spain. I love the rooftop views.

Parks & Nature
Good running route
This is one of Madrid´s best kept secrets. A park that goes along the Manzanares River (actually a stream) where you can go for a walk or a jog. You can also rent a bike and enjoy the scenic 10 km scenic trail. It finishes at El Matadero, a cultural hub with restaurants and bars if you feel like having something to drink or eat after the workout.

Just a few minutes walk from the flat you will find the Jardines del Campo del Moro, also known as the Royal Gardens because they are just behind the Royal Palace. A beautiful place to get lost and admire the nature and plants and to see a different side of the Royal south facade. Please note that in winter is closed after 6.30 pm

Tablao Las Carboneras is located in the most traditional Madrid, the Madrid of the Austrias, walking distance from my place. The Tablao is in the basement of the old palace of the Count of Miranda.
Born from the idea of recovering the old cabarets, this tablao and restaurant combines flamenco and avant-garde image with the best of nowadays flamenco. The fact that is just around the corner is very convenient.
