Stumbled upon the fab new @realfabrica shop today in the Barrio de las Letras, full of gorgeous things made in Spain - baskets, colognes, old-school enamel kitchenware, nice things in tins, scarves... great place to find unusual gifts #Madrid #madridmemata #madridmemola #barriodelasletras #barriodelasletrasmadrid #realfabricaespañola

The lottery has been going in Spain since the mid-18th century, introduced from Italy by Carlos III. This was the Lotería Primitiva, which the UK national lottery is modelled on. The Lotería Nacional began later, in 1811, to raise funds after the Peninsular War. Still waiting for a big win! #loteria #lottery #madrid #igersmadrid #madridmemata

Looking across calle Segovia to calle Morería from under the Viaducto. This was the first bit of Madrid to be inhabited by Muhammed I, Emir of Cordoba, and we were standing close to the course of the 9th-century wall that enclosed the fortress he built - where the Palacio Real is now. We were looking for a slab of the wall that still exists under an apartment block on the other side of the bridge - and found it eventually! #madrid #madriddelosaustrias #madridmemata #madridmemola #igersmadrid #visitmadrid

Casa Alberto @casa_alberto_1827 in the Barrio de las Letras has been open for nearly two centuries and is a wonderful place for a vermouth and a tapa at the bar or some traditional Madrilenian food in the restaurant. Back in the 16th century, Cervantes lived in the building and wrote the second part of Don Quijote there. #Madrid #madridcastizo #barriodelasletras #cervantes #madridmemata #madridmemola #visitmadrid
