I\u2019m not from Madrid<\/a>\u2014hardly anyone in Madrid is. But I\u2019ve lived here longer than anywhere else, and not only that: ever since I was a child, I knew I would live in Madrid. I\u2019ve always had family in the city\u2014even my great-grandmother lived here, on fancy Ibiza street!\u2014so, I\u2019ve known the city well for as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n

Traveling so much allows me to say without fear of contradiction that Madrid is the best capital city in the world to live in. Now I\u2019m even afraid to say it, because it seems that by repeating it so often, the idea has really taken hold, and there are more and more of us. The city has changed a lot in recent years; now it’s more international, more expensive, more sophisticated… more like other cities. So now I just hope it retains its spirit, the authenticity of its neighborhoods, its nightlife, its traditional bars, its warm people. That\u2019s why, please, if you come to Madrid… don\u2019t order a latte, always a cortado<\/em>. Don\u2019t have granola for breakfast, ask for churros. And remember: here we don\u2019t do brunch, we go out de ca\u00f1as<\/em> from 1 pm… until dusk. \u2014 David Moralejo, Head of Editorial Content<\/em><\/p>\n
