Love chocolate, then this is definitely the place for you. Next to the Church of San Ginés, just off c/Arenal, you will find a favourite haunt of many Madrileños – Chocolatería San Ginés. This place serves thick cups of chocolate with churros (long sticks of fried dough) in a white-marbled bar. It has been around for well over a hundred years and is still popular with people of all age groups. It is busy in the early evening and absolutely packed from 4 o'clock onwards, after a night out on the tiles!

Frommer's Review

Officially this restaurant is known as Tienda de Vinos (the Wine Store), but ever since the 1930s Madrileños have called it "El Comunista" (The Communist). Its now-deceased owner was a fervent Communist, and many locals who shared his political beliefs patronized the establishment. This rickety old wine shop with a few tables in the back is quite fashionable with actors and journalists looking for Spanish fare without frills. There is a menu, but no one ever looks at it -- just ask what's available. Nor do you get a bill; you're just told how much to pay. Guests sit at simple wooden tables with wooden chairs and benches; walls are decorated with old posters, calendars, pennants, and clocks. Start with garlic or vegetable soup or lentils, followed by lamb chops, tripe in a spicy sauce, or meatballs and soft-set eggs with asparagus. added on 2007-05-20

Fancy Spanish fashion designer, specializing in provocative clothing. Among his more publicized provocations was a show featuring Muslim head coverings as well as a show with Nazi-inspired uniforms. Like, very chicedgy. added on 2007-05-20
