Personal comments
It's difficult to choose just one favorite night spot in Madrid! If you're in the mood to chat with tourists and a variety of "madrilenos," any place around Plaza del Sol would be perfect. When you're in the mood to hang out with 100% Spanish college students, the best spots are the cafe's and bars around the soccer stadium, Santiago Bernabeu.
