Boots by Joaquín Sorolla at the Sorolla Museum @museo_sorolla in Madrid, which is in his former home. This is part of a painting that was part of an extensive series of works he was commissioned to paint, depicting traditional dress in all regions of Spain. A major exhibition of his work opens at the National Gallery @nationalgallery in London on March 18th #sorolla #joaquinsorolla #madrid #art #madridmuseums

Viva Madrid @vivamadridtaberna is a pretty tiled bar in the Barrio de Las Letras in Madrid that dates back to 1856. I used to go there in the 1980s! Now it’s been taken over by the renowned cocktail barman Diego Cabrera @diegocabrerabar - who fortunately hasn’t faffed about with it too much, but has dragged it into the 21st century with more of a cocktaily vibe in the back room. In the front section, the traditional bar is the same and it’s a great spot for a beer, a vermouth or a glass of wine with some tapas. We had the patatas bravas and Piquillo peppers with Galician seaweed and sunflower seeds in olive oil. The waiters are lovely too, friendly and happy to advise on wines etc. #vivamadrid #tabernasdemadrid #diegocabrera #barriodelasletras #barriodelasletrasmadrid #tabernascentenarias #madrid #madridmemola

The new Bless hotel in Madrid is in an elegant building constructed in 1948 to house the Gran Hotel Velázquez, which was one of the first luxury hotels in the city. This history is referenced in the new interiors throughout the property, designed by Lázaro Rosa-Violán, with artworks from the 1950s and 60s #madrid #designhotel #luxuryhotel #BLESSCollectionHotels #LHWTraveler #newhotel #barriodesalamanca #madridmola #madridmemata #architecture

This peaceful forest scene is actually part of the headboard in room 510 at the new Bless hotel @blesshotelmadrid in the Salamanca area of Madrid. Designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán has gone big on maroon, petrol blue, bottle green and mustard throughout the property - no boring neutrals here #blesshotelmadrid #blesscollectionhotels #madrid #barriodesalamanca #designhotel #newhotel #luxuryhotel

Sporting a jaunty hat inspired by the traditional regional costume of Zamora in the shop and studio of Paul García de Oteyza @oteyza_official - a very interesting tailor whose designs are inspired by classic Spanish garments from different centuries. This is the sort of unexpected thing that happens on an @insidersmadrid tour, when you go to places you probably wouldn’t come across on your own. Thanks @1stclassdarling for the photo #madrid #madridmemata #madridmemola #barriodelassalesas #tailor #spain
