If youre looking for food to try, why not gobble up some ‘huevos rotos’ (eggs on fried potato), or if youre feeling adventurous go for ‘oreja a la plancha’ (pan-seared pig ear).Those of you with sweeter palates, though, can chow down on ‘churros con chocolate’.

Drink

“Una cerveza, por favour!”Beer is likely to be the order of the day in Madrid. Over there youre likely to be after either a pinta basically a pint – while if youre not up for that you can have a caa a small 200ml glass.Fancy a bit of wine? Ask for a vino tinto (red) or vino blanco (white) and forget the stereotypes, not everyone is slurping down sangria in Spain – your best bet for a sweet tipple is the tinto de verano, which is along the lines of red wine and lemonade.Drink in moderation lads and lassesGetty Images5

Of course, we also recommend plenty of water – that sweet, sweet, H2O is vital on a sunny day.Need to pay your tab? Try saying this: Disculpe, la cuenta por favor = Excuse me, the bill please.It’s also worth notingdrinking alcohol in the street and on the metro is illegal and you can be fined or arrested for doing so.

What to see

For the culture vultures out there who want to explore the delights of Madrid, there are plenty of things to do.If you have the time to peruse a museum head to Museo del Prado to witness one of the finest collections of art in Europe.Completing the Golden Triangle of art museums are the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofa.

Head to El Retiro Park which is full of stunning sculptures, elegant architecture, and rolling lawns nearly as good the Wanda Metropolitano pitch.You can even witness Madrids oldest tree – leave your Fernando Llorente jokes here – which was reportedly planted in 1633.
