A day by The Mad List · September edition
A perfect Saturday in Malasaña.
Six stops, one neighbourhood and a full day planned from the first coffee to the last drink. This is how we would spend a Saturday in Malasaña right now.
- 01
Breakfast
Gordito Cantina
Calle de la Palma, 41
Start slowly with a proper Malasaña breakfast: good coffee, sweet and savoury plates, and a table made for lingering.
- 02
Aperitivo
La Colmada
Calle del Espíritu Santo, 19
Move on to a neighbourhood favourite for vermouth, cheese and charcuterie before lunch.
- 03
Lunch
La Llorería
Calle de San Lorenzo, 4
A creative lunch just beyond Malasaña's edge, with thoughtful plates that are made for sharing.
- 04
Drinks
Casa Botella
Calle de Jesús del Valle, 31
An easy afternoon stop for natural wine and a relaxed glass before the evening begins.
- 05
Dinner
Hiro
Calle del Espíritu Santo, 40
Dinner brings bold, contemporary cooking to the table in an intimate neighbourhood setting.
- 06
Night
Casa Brava
Calle de Valverde, 44
Finish the day with one last drink at Casa Brava — close enough to keep the night going if you feel like it.
