Literary Quarter

That's also if you go on a food tour or just any type of tour in Madrid, you'll likely walk past this place because it is in the center.

It's in the historic literary quarter where like Cervantes used to live.

And it's called Casa Alberto and they still make vermouth and house.

And it's just a really nice, really, really nice restaurant as well.

Great tapas bar.

They have just an amazing menu of wine.

staff is super friendly as well and amazing just like plates that are just easily the size and you just pick and share with your friends and then the other the other three tapas bars uh one is called la berlona bar which is um near the literary quarter but it's uh off of line one really really nice more upscale it's a little bit more expensive but very like chic interior um It's a little bit like higher quality as well.

So it's like why it's a little bit more expensive, but it's very classy.

Keeping them together gives the day a clear focus and balances time inside the museum with time outdoors.

Day three returns to the streets, this time in Barrio de las Letras, the literary quarter between the Prado and Sol.

Its name recalls seventeenth-century literary Madrid associated with writers including Cervantes and Lope de Vega.

References to writers in the old courtyard theaters give substance to the walk, helping you understand street names and recognize the neighborhood's theatrical past.
