Friday Five: Five Things I Miss About the U.S.- Food Edition
People sometimes ask me if I miss the United States. Actually, people ask me this a lot…especially my students. In all honesty, I don´t particularly miss the United States. I miss my family. I miss some of the people and places that make my life comfortable, but the U.S. as a whole? Not really. I […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Mama Campo
This restaurant wasn´t on my radar, but I ended up here and I´m glad I did! The food was good, the restaurant wasn´t too big or too small, and I enjoyed myself. They also have a ¨cantina¨and ¨tienda¨, but I didn´t see either. Mama Campo Address: Calle de Trafalgar, 22, 28010 Madrid Atmosphere: Clean, bright, open […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Bar Galleta
Oooooh, how I had been wanting to go to Bar Galleta ever since I saw it the first night I went to Amargo. It´s always full with no walk-ins available, so I was one happy camper to be able to check it out last week! And it did not disappoint!! Bar Galleta Address: Corredera Baja de […]

To me, traveling alone always sounded…lonely. I’m someone that likes to experience things with people. Look at this! Taste […]

Restaurants in Madrid: Lady Madonna
Lady Madonna Address: Calle Orellana, 6, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: cozy, warm lights, intimate. Very “clean” feeling, if that makes sense. There is also a terrace, but it was raining when I was there, so not sure what it’s like. Looked nice, though. Type of food: “small plates, big (ish) prices” is how I would describe […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Ojala
I have heard a bunch of people talking about “the bar with the beach” so I was excited to try this place with two friends! I didn’t love the “beach” part, but the upstairs is light and bright and the food is delicious!! Ojala Address: Calle de San Andrés, 1, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: there are […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Ginos
I went to Ginos a few months ago for a friend’s birthday. She wanted Italian, so without any better ideas, this is where we ended up! Ginos Address: Various locations. Atmosphere: It’s a chain (a franchise?) so each location is different. It’s a nice place, but has that “TGI Fridays” canned feel. Type of food: […]
