    Drinks and dinner at Viva Madrid on the recommendation of Cath Thompson.

    This bar is a piece of living history, with its original 1856 tiles lining the walls and wood-framed mirrors yellowed by time. The central bar is worn smooth by generations of madrileños leaning in to order their vermut. The bar preserves its authentic taberna vibe - dark wood, antique posters, and ornate ceilings that have witnessed over a century of Madrid life. It serves traditional tapas and drinks without any modern twists or pretense. The house vermouth comes straight from the barrel, and the tortilla is exactly how it should be.

    Address: Calle de Manuel Fernández y González, 7, Madrid
