The Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson - or MCMP, which is less of a mouthful - is a great new art venue in Madrid. The family-run foundation has one of the best private art collections in Spain, which will be displayed on rotation in their palatial building (formerly the Alcalá Galdiano hotel) off the Plaza de Colón. The first exhibition, Spanish 19th-century Painting, runs until the end of 2020 and includes some astounding paintings by Goya, Federico de Madrazo, Eduardo Rosales, Mariano Fortuny, Julio Romero de Torres, Santiago Rusiñol and Isidro Nonell. It is worth going just to see the room of paintings by Joaquin Sorolla. Entrance is free too! . . #madrid #art #fundacionmasaveu #fundacionmcmp #igersmadrid #visitmadrid #sorolla #joaquinsorolla #telegraphtravel

Traditional económico restaurants serving menú del día lunches still exist in Madrid - but I wonder how much longer they’ll last. This is the much-loved El Bierzo on Calle Barbieri in Chueca, where the menú costs €12.50 for three courses with half a bottle of wine. Quite a few diners were having tinto con casera, which cheered me up no end. It was packed out as usual with people who work locally, either on their own, with a friend or a group of workmates. And the waiters have been working here for decades. A real institution. . . #madrid #menudeldia #chueca #madridmemata #madridmemola

Pago del Vicario Penta from Ciudad Real is so named because it’s made with five grape varieties: Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot & Petit Verdot. With some tremendous pavías de merluza - hake soldiers in beer batter - at Taberna Calatrava #madrid #madridfood #spanishfood #tabernastradicionales #tabernasantiguasdemadrid #tabernasdemadrid #tabernascastizas #madridmemata #madridmemola #pagodelvicario #tapas #tapasmadrid #calatrava22
