A Short Trip to Madrid in February

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Madrid for a weekend in February, and I have to say, it was a truly unforgettable experience. Although it was winter and a bit chilly, there were still plenty of things to see and do in the city.

One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the Prado Museum, which is home to some of the world's most famous artworks. I spent hours wandering through the galleries, admiring the incredible collection of paintings and sculptures. I also had the chance to explore the beautiful Retiro Park, which was surprisingly peaceful and serene despite being in the heart of the city.

I also had the opportunity to attend the Carnaval de Madrid, which is a lively festival with parades, street performers, and music. The atmosphere was electric, and I loved seeing the locals in their colorful costumes and masks.

Of course, no visit to Madrid would be complete without sampling the local cuisine. I indulged in a delicious chocolate con churros, which was the perfect comfort food for the chilly weather. I also enjoyed some delicious tapas and wine at a local restaurant.

Despite only having a weekend in Madrid, I felt like I was able to experience a lot of what the city has to offer. I left feeling rejuvenated and inspired by the vibrant culture and rich history of this incredible city.

If you're looking for a fun and unique weekend getaway, I highly recommend a trip to Madrid in February. The city is full of surprises and delights, and there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Here are some fun things to do in Madrid in February:

Visit the Prado Museum: Madrid is home to one of the world's most famous art museums, the Prado. In February, the museum is less crowded, making it a great time to explore the impressive collection of artwork and artifacts.

Attend the Carnaval de Madrid: The carnival season starts in February and there are plenty of events and celebrations taking place throughout the city. The Carnaval de Madrid is a lively festival with parades, street performers, and music.

Take a stroll in the Retiro Park: The Retiro Park is a large and beautiful park located in the heart of Madrid. February is a great time to take a stroll through the park, enjoy the peaceful scenery, and maybe even rent a boat on the lake.

Enjoy a chocolate con churros: Madrid is famous for its churros con chocolate, a delicious dessert that's perfect for a cold February day. You can find many traditional cafes that serve this delicacy throughout the city.

Explore the Plaza Mayor: The Plaza Mayor is one of the most iconic landmarks in Madrid, and it's a great place to soak up the atmosphere and people-watch. In February, there are often street performers and musicians entertaining visitors in the plaza.

Watch a Real Madrid football match: Football is a big part of Spanish culture, and if you're a fan of the sport, February is a great time to watch a Real Madrid match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Take a day trip to Toledo: Toledo is a beautiful medieval city that's located just outside of Madrid. In February, the crowds are smaller, making it a great time to explore the historic landmarks, narrow streets, and unique shops.

Visit the Royal Palace of Madrid: The Royal Palace is a stunning landmark in the city, with ornate architecture and rich history. February is a great time to visit, as there are fewer crowds and you can enjoy the beauty of the palace without feeling rushed.

Esto voy a tener que hacer yo para quemar los churros con chocolate que me he permitido comer esta mañana, exquisito todo, que me quiten lo bailado... o comido, porque también hay que mimarse de vez en cuando.

1:30pm, nyc panadería

Don Paco Lopez, Panadería, established 1991, in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, smells absolutely fucking amazing.

The air is thick with the smell of dough and cinnamon and chocolate and something about the mix of aromas has Alex’s choking up a little – caught in the memories of his abuelas kitchen. The place reminds him so much of summers and Christmases in Mexico that he has half a mind to book a ticket down there right now, the nostalgia is so powerful.

Through the window, Alex can see illuminated baking cases — almost empty at this hour — and a man and woman dancing and laughing behind the counter, each covered in both wrinkles and flour. He can just make out the sound of Selena through the glass door.

Without a second thought, without any regard for his carefully structured schedule, Alex steps inside, the bell over the door jingling merrily. 

The dancing couple breaks apart at the noise, smiles still firmly in place, and moves to their stations before freezing in place, mid-greeting, as she recognizes him as the son of the President.

“¡Hola! Bienvenido a— ¡Dios mío, eres tú!”

Alex slips into Spanish as easily as breathing. “Culpable de los cargos,” he says, a sheepish grin on his face. “Huele increíble aquí. Al igual que recuerdo la cocina de mi abuela.”

“Muchas gracias.” They both still look stunned he’s in their shop. “Estamos horneando para la próxima orden de catering.”

The knowledge that this panadería does catering has Alex’s brain going a mile a minute. He scans the cases, searching for his favorites. Pan de muerto chico, tamales dulces, rosca de reyes, churros, cuernito, niditos—and there, in the far corner, Alex’s favorite: conchas.

“Bueno, quiero esa última concha de chocolate, pero también voy a hacer algunos pedidos de catering.”

“¿Algunos? ¿Cómo en múltiples?”

“Sí,” Alex says, letting his grin go a little wicked. “No puedo dejar que los niños del Refugio Okonjo tengan todas las golosinas, ¿verdad?”

The Lopezes laugh, albeit a little hysterically, as a timer goes off in the back. Paco excuses himself to the ovens with a gesture to his wife. “Mi esposa puede ayudarle con su pedido, Sr. Claremont-Díaz.”

“¡Llámame Alex!” he calls after Mr. Lopez. He lowers his voice back to normal volume as he turns to Mrs. Lopez. “Por favor, insisto.”

“Bueno… Alejandro. ¿Qué podemos hacer por ti?”

He chuckles, visions of piles of pastries dancing in his head. “¿Tienes un bolígrafo y papel a mano?”

Mrs. Lopez’s eyes crinkle with amusement as she clicks her pen and hovers over an order pad. “Estoy lista.”

Alex lets the words fly, making up the order for the shelter on the spot. Día de los Muertos is coming up, and there’s enough kids at the shelter who haven’t gotten a proper celebration of the holiday in a while that will practically die with happiness when he drops the baked goods off.

For his own order, he’s been homesick for Mexican baking for a while. He can make a mean mole, throw kick-ass enchiladas in the oven, even put together a salsa that June said was on par with their abuelo. But Alex doesn’t have as much time, or frankly the patience, to turn out conchas and other sweet breads that his abuela still makes once a week. He orders way more than he’ll ever be able to eat before it goes stale, but he doesn’t care. Henry will at least try each variety, and Alex can always bring any extras to class or his review session. 

Mrs. Lopez won’t hear of him paying full price, and Alex can’t fathom paying anything less. Mr. Lopez finally interrupts their standoff with a suggestion of thirty percent off for the shelter. That, Alex will accept—he’ll do anything for Henry and Pez’s dollars to stretch further to help queer kids. Mrs. Lopez still looks grumpy, but she concedes to Alex paying full price for his own order as well. (Alex will leave a big tip when he picks up both orders, whether she likes it or not.)

He thanks them again, setting a pick up time for both orders and leaves with his chocolate concha and a wide smile on his face. Henry and the rest of his family are going to make so much fun of him for the sheer volume he ordered, but in Alex’s defense, he was left unsupervised.

Translations: Hello! Welcome to— Oh my God, it’s you! Guilty as charged. It smells amazing in here. Just like I remember my grandma’s kitchen. Thank you so much. Well, I want that last chocolate concha, but I'm also gonna place some catering orders. Some? As in multiple? Can’t let the kids at the Okonjo Shelter have all the goodies, now can I?  My wife can help you with your order, Mr. Claremont-Díaz. Call me Alex! Please, I insist. Okay, Alex. What can we do for you? Got a pen and paper handy? I’m ready.

Recipe of masa de churros (churros dough) recipe from Madrid!

With this you can make churros, porras y rulos.

Ingredients.

-Frying oil, use olive if you can

- 320 ml of water

- A pinch of salt

- 160 g of baker's flour

-Sugar

Steps.

Pit the water and salt in a pot and let it boil and a pan with the oil and heat it as well

Add the flour slowly and mixing to the pot.

Get it out of the fire and keep stirring until a dough has formado.

With a plastic bag put the dough in a piping bag and let make sure you don't get air bubbles (if not they explode).

Put the dough in the pan and fry it.

Here you can make porras o rulos. Porras are straight while rulos are spirals (I prefer making spirals, the core is so good and where most of the flovour resides).

Roll them in a container full of sugar and let them cool a little and there you go! Churros!.

Also traditionally is served alongside hot chocolate, (chocolate a la taza) and it's called churros con chocolate.

Hope you like it and be carefull, oil is unpredicatble!

:D

Aaron of Ithaca

Oh my gosh thank you so much!!!!!! I cannot wait to make these!! Thank you!!!

Cosas que los humanos hacemos en NAVIDAD

A medida que se acerca la Navidad, cada vez son más las personas que se desplazan hasta el centro de las ciudades para pasear por sus calles, disfrutar de la decoración navideña y merendar una taza de chocolate caliente con churros.

Una tradición que se ha popularizado tanto en los últimos años que ha llevado a la concentración de aglomeraciones en algunas ciudades.

Así lo han demostrado unas terroríficas imágenes del centro de Madrid que han generado alerta en redes sociales.

Now that it's that time of the year I can finally give Tenebris "chocolate con churros"! I've had this in mind since the demo. Please enjoy.

Ooooh, we have those here as well! Tho for some reason, we eat them during summer, lmao

"THANK YOU, MARRY ME PLEASE!" - Tenebris

If you ever want Tenebris to tell you he loves you or just straight up ask for your hand in marriage, give him chocolate.

travelling with argos episode 3: madrid

you guys wanted to go to spain sonce a long time, so you decided to finally go and let's just say...you guys don't regret it at all

argos likes the sun even though it blinds him in all his eyes, you don't even know how he still goes through the pain of being blinded when you already need to wear sunglasses when the sun rises

yeah...it's quite something

but nevertheless you guys enjoyed the warm weather (but sometimes it was quite unbearable and you couldn't move at all, laying in front of the fan on the bed of the hotel room)

also this time you shared a bed cause argos likes to cuddle something or someone and you don't have anything against sleeping in the same bed (also because it's usually cheaper)

it was nice to see argos in shorts, a tee and converse cause that's not usual

you went all out on sight-seeing: going to various museums, parks, cafés, restaurants and really public places

just to mention, you totally loved the food: they have a lot of variety and traditional dishes (sweet and savory)

of course you couldn't skip the churros con chocolate, argos ate them a lot on the trip

probably argos's highlight was the plaza major, with all the lights and the beautiful architecture

you always went on walks in the evening lo see the lights and to digest the food better before going to sleep

allert to all souvenir shops: argos is coming!

you went to the Hard Rock Café cause you are a big music advocat and wanted to go there since forever and of course you got matching tee's as a souvenir

El chilango es hiperbólico; es metafísico por costumbre. Ellos inventaron el "cómo chingados no" que es un desafío a la Creación. El chilango puede ser sencillo pero jamás será humilde, es altanero selectivo: es capaz de crear el vacío, venderlo en una botella y engañarse a sí mismo.

Ellos soñaron las quesadillas sin queso y existen, digan lo que digan los puristas; existe en los chilangos el delirio más absurdo: tortas de crema, azúcar y jamón frito, conchas dulces rellenas de chilaquiles con pollo y, atención: chilaquiles sin tortilla. Son visionarios, van un paso adelante de la gastronomía molecular. El chilango necesita vivir en un islote metafísico, sobre el oxímoron de la realidad impalpable. El chilango permanece en el viaje pero no es viajero: es viajante. porque ronda sin origen ni destino.

Está en su genética configurada por comida callejera ancestral: churros de crucero sudando su grasa en bolsas de estrasa, guajolotas de bolillo crujientísimo, tortas groseras, groserísimas y los tacos, todos los posibles porque de lo imposible se piden órdenes de a tres con todo. Para el chilango no hay experimento que no valga la pena: se puede ver en una máquina expendedora a un chilango mezclando café de garbanzo tostado, chocolate y leche de almendras.

Finalmente,lo escalofriante: en la esquina de 6 Sur y Sur 16-C está una de esas visionarias. Aún no lo logra pero lo hará: coloca un tamal de salsa verde en una telera, luego intenta introducir entre las moronas derrumbadas gruesos trozos de milanesa picada, corona la creación con crema y queso manchego rayado. "¿Por qué no le echa tocino frito?", le pregunto y me dice: "No, cómo cree". Pero por lo bajo noto que sonríe, sé que se lo ha imaginado.

Bueno, he ido a un cumpleaños y me han invitado a churros con chocolate, que son 190kcal. Más 3 filipinos, que son 42kcal cada uno, son 126kcal más. Siempre que quedo con gente me acaban invitando a algo. Estoy cansada de saltarme la dieta de 600kcal, hoy han sido 672kcal. Pretendo no salir tanto de casa a menos que sea para trabajar. Mañana mi madre hará lasaña casera, así que comeré solo eso en todo el día. Estaba orgullosa y ahora me siento grasienta, y lo peor es que no lo puedo vomitar porque solo hay un baño mixto en el restaurante y tardaría demasiado. Estoy agotada, pero me pienso poner estricta para no ser una puta obesa.
