• Lee más sobre Frontón Beti Jai

The hidden relic in the heart of Madrid.

A visitor could spend a few days in Madrid without ever noticing this architecturally significant building. Built during the boom of Basque pelota, a traditional sport from the Basque Country, it has stood the test of time and remains one of the most beautiful spots in the city.

One of those places that leaves you speechless. One of those places you can only really take in over the foam of a Mahou.

• Lee más sobre La Metralleta Vinyl Gallery

An underground gateway to Madrid’s epicentre of musical debate.

Music lovers, vintage hunters and fans of the underground will find exactly what they’re after by heading down the stairs and stumbling upon this hidden vinyl shop.

The debate is hotting up, so it calls for a perfectly chilled Mahou to cool things down.

• Lee más sobre Chamberí Ghost Station

This abandoned site is open to anyone with a thirst for spine-tingling stories.

Beneath Madrid’s streets lies a hidden museum in a ghost station. Trains rush past while stories of the Civil War and the supernatural fill the platform. Chamberí is the place for those in search of a little mystery.

Back up on the surface, the best way to return to Madrid life is with a Mahou.

• Lee más sobre Matadero

From a dark past to a cultural hub.

Anyone arriving at these neo-Mudéjar buildings, used today for exhibitions, events and concerts, would never guess they once served as a livestock slaughterhouse.

But that’s Madrid: a city where the past is transformed into something better. Today, after wandering through Matadero, all that’s left is to sit back and enjoy everything around you, Mahou in hand.

• Lee más sobre The Bermuda Triangle of art

Lose yourself in the art that defines Madrid: the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen.

If you take the Madrid Metro, you’ll find a stop called Estación del Arte. It's not a coincidence. Around it are some of Madrid’s biggest museums.

Contemporary, modern or historical art, you can be impressed by all kinds of works and savour their nuances between sips of Mahou on a nearby terrace.
