One of the best things we have in Spain in my opinion is the food, and one of the best ways to enjoy is by having tapas. This ritual is about chatting and eating great food while drinking a cold beer in a sunny street terrace. Everybody does it in the evenings, especially during the summer.
In each city there are many places where you can enjoy this ritual. One of them is En Estado Puro located in central Madrid. I discovered this place once when I went to Madrid to visit one of my friends. I have to admit: it’s not as cheap as a regular bar but this place isn’t regular. This place mixes the Spanish atmosphere and the latest trendy interior design with the latest fashionable tapas. You can check all of them in their website.

It’s incredible how many cool things are pinned on the Go Find It map, it’s really a wide source of quirky places around Europe and an essential guide to review before travelling to a new city.
This morning I was browsing the map and I found an incredible hat shop in Santiago de Compostela called “Sombreria Iglesias”. This hat shop has been open since 1912, and it’s of course one of the oldest and most classical shops in the city.
So how has a hat shop been able to survive almost 100 years? The secret is a mixture of products and service. You can find high quality products for a good price and have a personal advisor who will help you to find the most suitable hat.
So if you’re looking for a hat you know where to go!

Sevilla, the 4th biggest city of Spain, has always been admired for its old streets, dislodging history in each corner. However, now it’s also admired for its new art scene.
Last week I received an email from a friend who had been to Sevilla recently. He told me about the tasteful food and the beautiful city but he also told me about a nice street art gallery called Montana Shop & Gallery Sevilla. In this gallery you can watch street art exhibitions from both international and Spanish artists, for example: Beautiful Colors, Fafa and 3ttman. Another cool thing is that you can buy some spray cans of your own on the way out.
Check out their website and make sure to stop by if you’re ever in Sevilla, I know I will.
