BEST CHRISTMAS LIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surronding Plaza Mayor, you\u00b4ll find some interesting points for Christmas light decorations. In Plaza Mayoy itself there is a charming Christmas market and every entrance arc is also decorated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few steps away you\u00b4ll get to Puerta del Sol, recently rehabilitated with a huge Christmas tree. From there take Arenal street full of stores light and street life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking from Puerta del Sol about 150m throuhg calle de Alcal\u00e1, you\u00b4ll get to Plaza de Canalejas, and Hotel four Seasons Madrid<\/a>, with stunning Christmas light in it\u00b4s spectacular main facade. The hotel has its own gourmet space free admission, to eat something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now its time to take Gran V\u00eda, one of my must in Madrid, full of life, ligh, colour and Theater options for the whole family, specially Musicals. let me give you some links to my favorite ones;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rey Le\u00f3n<\/a>, at teatro Lope de Vega, Tina<\/a> at teatro Coliseum, or Mama m\u00eda<\/a> at teatro Rialto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halfway in Gran V\u00eda, you\u00b4ll get to Callao Square, with our main mall “El Corte Ingl\u00e9s” and it\u00b4s roof top Gourmet experience, totally worth visiting Nice view from there to Gran V\u00eda, and variety of good food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep on walking down Gran V\u00eda and you\u00b4ll get to our beautiful Plaza Espa\u00f1a<\/a>, where a huge Christmas light tree, the three kings decorations and a Christmas market are waiting for you. Even an ice rink! for children\u00b4s delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you are only 10 minutes away walking from the most spectacular lihts and sound exhibition in plaza de la Armer\u00eda between Palacio Real<\/a> and Catedral de la Almudena<\/a>. If I were you I wouldnt miss it. espect\u00e1culo ef\u00edmero de bolas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIPS TO TAKE GOOD PHOTOS BY NIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u00b4s important to be aware of the use of flash on regular smartphones or cameras. It only works in short distances, but will never reach a whole monument or scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, you should low the shutter speed ,use a higher ISO (600-800) or open the diaphragm as much as possible. The use of tripod is necessary for speed lower than 1\/30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using a reflex camera, don\u00b4t forget to set the colour temperature into 300-400 kelvin degrees to avoid those yellowish light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you want to just enjoy while visiting all these attractions, let us be the ones who immortalize you in the city. Outdoor photo sessions<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE TO EAT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I am giving you some ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning in Plaza mayour, try our widle famous “bocadillo de calamares”. There are like 15 different bars offering this typical bite of Madrid. My favorite: “La ideal”.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Puerta del Sol, a little bit hidden in calle Tetu\u00e1n 12 (besides El Corte Ingl\u00e9 mall), you\u00b4ll find Casa Labra<\/a>, one of our classic for “croquetas” and “cod fish”, simply delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned above, in Gourmet experience<\/a> Callao, I would try some “pintxos” at “La M\u00e1quina<\/a>” but they have plenty of kiosks specialized in cuisines of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, it\u00b4s crowded on a regular basis, be patient….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Gran V\u00eda, it\u00b4s hard for me to decide wich place is better, you\u00b4ll find tapas and pintxos verywhere, and if by chance you prefer a heathier option, try “Faborit”<\/a> in Plaza Espa\u00f1a, specialized in salads, sandwiches and fresh juices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
