Our Madrid Travel Guide! Madrid is a city that I have a long and turbulent association with. It's a city that I have spent a lot of time in and around. And there's so much to love about Madrid. The food, the people, the architecture, the history - Madrid shines on all fronts.
We're joined by Madrid native and dear friend Alex Barrera who shares the joys of Madrid food and drinking culture, as well as some of the ins and outs of Spanish society.

My husband and I traveled to Madrid and then Cordoba and Granada right before Covid hit. What an incredible country. Its beautiful, the people are kind, and what we remarked on several times is how clean Spain is. There train system is so easy to use and very efficient. Better than Paris and Germany. I plan to go back and soak up more of this incredible country.
Your intro reminded me of how I feel about Paris. I proposed, she said "can we talk about it"...one of these days, I'll go back...
...anyways, SO glad you're back!!
Damn, hope you found someone better bro.
@tofu farmer.... I hope you've been to Paris soon after. If Not, go back as soon as you can and replace those memories. I had a long term relationship and the last place we went together was Paris before we broke up. I went back to Paris a few months after that on my own to create new memories there without her. I will always love Paris.
When i watched this video, all my memories about watching Attache to learn English came flooding back.
42k views 18 secs. We’ve been missing you sir.
I found this channels about five hours ago because I'm looking for information about Spain. Saw the Barcelona video and was looking for the Madrid video. To my disappointment there wasn't one.
Until now.
There is a God.
The Madrid is amazing city!The atmosphere,the food the people,the architecture,everything is great!Thank you for that lovely video!
Thanks so much Metodi
I spent a week in Spain in summer of 2018 and Madrid was my first stop. Easily one of my favorite cities in the world that seems to be overlooked by many for whatever reason. The food is next level , locals are super friendly and the vibe of the city and the way things flow make it a place that you don't want to leave. I would live in Madird easily if given the opportunity and Alex you have done this great city much justice with this video. Much respect!!
I went to Madrid with low expectatives. The surprise was totaaaallllll is a mix between Paris (architecture) and even NY (Gran Via or Plaza Espania, the urbane atmosphere) and off course Spain culture. Incredible I will return again for sure. Coool city.
Madrid was the great surprise in Europe for me. Some areas reminds me Paris for example Salamanca District and some areas New York for example Gran Via zone ....amazing city coooool
OMG Attache has finally came back OMG
Come*

Once again, you lads have knocked it out of the park, well done! Was just in Spain, but avoided (foolishly) Madrid, now I know that I must return, to right that wrong.
It's always a great day whenever Alex & Attaché pop up in my notifications on TH-cam!
It’s good to be back!
I feel like with every new video we are gradually unravelling your backstory
Spent this past weekend in Madrid and I came away with the exact feeling of refinement you described... I was talking to a local and told him how much Madrid felt like Barcelona's older, more mature brother. Great to have you back!
I’m glad to be back, thanks for the kind words
A city that I fell in love with and that gave my life a 180 turn for the best. Madrid will have a special place in my life.
Welcome back. Always good to experience your laid back musings on places.
Welcome back, Alex! You were missed!!!
Food is definitely the fastest way to win our hearts too!
Thanks for a great video!
I visited Madrid by chance two years ago. Had very low expectations and thought it would be a messy big city with lots of traffic. So wrong I was. Madrid may be big, but the central part is perfect for tourists and you can easily walk everywhere. Didn't think I'd feel as safe as I did on Madrid's streets. Can recommend living around La Latina, where there are no skyscrapers. In fact, went back to Madrid a year later just for the food.
Madrid is a city that doesn’t hook you up the first time you visit it but subtlety it makes you keep thinking about coming back to visit More
Yup, that’s absolutely spot on
Love Madrid! And yes great 🚇 metro!!!
So glad to have you back Alex. I never ever post but had to say this. 👍🏼
I love your teams productions. Madrid is on my list for sure
@ILLA ILLS... If you live in the States....when you are ready... checkout a website called TRIPMASTERS. It has saved me a ton on European and South American Vacations. I've used them for over 8 years now. I went to Madrid and Florence (2018) for 7 Days for $950 Air/Hotel. Madrid was AWESOME and I'm planning to go back. Some of the best food I've ever had.
Delighted that y'all are back at it!
I've been to Madrid twice and you totally captured what I love about it - it's totally a "vibe" kind of city. It doesn't have all the attractions like its European counterparts (Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, etc...), but what it lacks in sights it totally makes up for in atmosphere, day-to-day pulse, and overall lust of life of it's people. Plus it's one of the most walkable cities I've ever been to!
Thanks so much Paul, I really appreciate it
Thanks!
So amazing to see you back, this season is going to be great
Glad to have you back Alex! Also happy to see your content is still top notch. Easily my favorite travel vlog and so professionally edited. You need your own show man
Thanks Alex, I appreciate it
This was incredible. And so begins my Attache binge...

Glad to have you back Alex!
Not sure the issues why you wouldn’t come back but glad you did. And OMG thank you for including my favorite part of your videos, The Rundown !!! Now come visit the most misunderstood city in the world, Detroit !!!
Hehe the good ol’ rundown!
One of my favorite cities. Truly. I like it way more than Barcelona
It’s a great city, for sure
Finally Attache is back. We missed you Alex.
Alex so glad you went back to Madrid. Love your style and the entire ATTACHE production team for these videos!
Another amazing episode about a city that I was so proud to call home at one time. So happy this show is back!
Very happy to see you back! I believe many people are curious about your personal stories~ Look forward to learning more about yourself in the future episodes.
Thanks Ben, I wanted to insert a bit more of myself into these episodes. Glad we hit the mark.
I am sooooooo glad you guys are back! And again, another wonderful video!
I am a happy hooman, new attaché episode .........
The writing and editing is getting better and better. Love this channel.
It is great to see you guys return for another series! I for one are looking forward to more episodes very soon!
You r back! ! ! Thank you for continue making videos. In my mind, u have the best travel videos. Pls never stop making travel videos
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it
Your work just keeps getting better and better. Absolutely delightful viewing. Well done.
I'm heading to Madrid in 3 weeks! Thank you Alex and Greg, your video couldn't have come out at the better time for me! I'm totally going to eat everything you've eaten in the video!
There are lots of places like Casa Pepe, "temples" of one or two particular specialties (El Abuelo, La Ardosa, Casa Revuelta, La Dolores, Casa Labra...). And there are some areas/streets (Cava Baja, Zurbano, Ibiza...) with plenty of excellent tapas bars. But those are just for socialicing, as said in the video. For the real food you better go to a restaurant. There are lots of a very high quality and affordable prices.
God , it's great to see you back!! By the way, usually youtubers get sponsorships from companies I don't relate to or need. But this dashlane idea, I loved it. I'm buying it now. Thanks for accepting sponsorship from a company that actually fills a gap. I've been to madrid 8 years ago, really missed the place. Taxi drivers however , are similar to the ones in Istanbul. Terrible.
Can't sleep, get up, see Attache put a new episode up. Birthday is off to a good start.
@@MrRolandMichel Early happy birthday!
Glad that you guys are back. And what a way to be back by featuring this city. Thank you for this video, now I have an idea on what to do when we visit. Pretty excited about it. Cheers!
Thanks Rolando!
Absolutely the most beautiful travel videos. Your work is fantastic.
Can’t wait to go back to Madrid ❤
So happy that you're back! And with a terrific video. I love the personal undertones Alex, and wonderful camera work.
Thanks, we had a lot of fun making this ep
I have been around Spain, litterally lol, Barcelona, Bilbao, Vigo, quick stops in Oporto and Lisboa then Sevilla but only passed by Barajas on my Ways in or out of Spain. Seeing how you went there I guess I should give it a shot next time.
we missed your videos bro...💕
I miss Madrid a lot, can't wait to come back ❤
Excellent stuff guys, this was one of the cities I was hoping you'd make it to.
I am really glad you guys are back.
Welcome back!
Excellent video - so glad you decided to resume operations.
Glad to see you back!
Exceptionally great storytelling 🤟🏻😍
I'm so so so happy to see new videos. Its ithe best travel channel on TH-cam. Good work keep going.
Thanks so much!
I do not agree at all with the comment of the taxis.
Taxis are always an expensive option but in Madrid there is a fixed price of 30 euros to go from the airport to any point within the M-30 ring road, approximately 42 square kilometers. It is a fixed price regardless of the number of passengers, suitcases, schedule or if it is a holiday. The capacity of a taxi is generally for 4 people, but there are some with capacity for up to 7 people and the price is still 30 euros.
This guarantees that there are no deceptions, which can occur in Madrid and in any city in the world.
Getting to the hotel by metro usually involves changing the line a couple of times. There are electric stairs but it is easy to find some section where they are not, in addition to supporting rush hours.
It is best to ask the tourism informants who will offer you several alternatives. Also, when in doubt, unless you have the very right money and taking into account what you have spent on the plane and what you will spend at the hotel, being taken to the hotel door is priceless. You will take the subway when your hands are empty of suitcases.
It is advisable to ask the taxi driver for a receipt, he cannot refuse to hand it over and includes all the information about the taxi driver and the journey traveled.
Very informative and beautifully presented, as usual! Thank you!
Best travel videos!
Thanks David!
Madrid is amazing!
Btw, I guess it's just a matter of taste, but both Terminal 4 and Terminal 4S of the Barajas airport seem to me to be some of the most beautiful and aesthetic ones in the world.
Great work! Visited Barcelona, Amsterdam and Berlin since last May, all the guides that have interested me have been very useful whilst travelling!
Given it’s winter season, perhaps try a winter destination if in Europe, eg: Prague?
Bosnia
I love attaché
And we love you
Great to see you guys back!
Great to be back!
I just got back from Madrid (Oct/Nov 2023), and ubers, free-now, and bolt are widely available; please note this isn't ubiquitous throughout Spain, and ride sharing is highly regional in my opinion.
Great video you guys, welcome back.
What is the dark past that's talked about!
always a treat to see you pop up in my subscriptions :)
LOVE the intro.
YES WELCOME BACK :D
Love every single episode of this show!
That’s really kind, thank you
Great video! I am glad you guys are back
love to see the channel back
Welcome back. Great episode.
Thanks Alison
Loved this😊
“How wonderful to be in a city where you can just buy cups of meat to walk around with”
Blimey your videos are superb still . A pleasure to support you
Thanks so much, that means a lot to me
Great video guy's, going to make a trip there next year. Hope to see more video's gave all your video a like.
Great work 👍👍👍
Thanks so much Bobby!
YESSS! YOURE BACK!!!!
We are!
"...Failing and defeats...," the hate and love relation you have with this city was definitefly noticeable throughout the episode. Anyway, it's always admirable that individuals learn from one's defeats and look at bad experiences to start over with a positive attitude.
Agreed, I had a delay in Madrid before heading to Germany. It was horrible.
Another great video. Great to see merchandise. I was thinking of creating a Rundown shirt but now I don't have to do it.
Very nice video! Big thumbs up 👍👍👍
Wow - just as fabulous as always!! Thank you
Thanks so much!
Not only Uber but also Cabify, a Spanish company, operates in Madrid
Extraordinary content
You’re not planning a Beijing One by any chance? I move there soon and I would love your views on it
Excellent video 👌👌👌👌
Thank you! Cheers!
I don't mind Madrid airport. It's not my favourite but it's definitely not the worst. I wouldn't go out of my way to fly there however it seems like heaven compared to some other European airports. Cough Gatwick cough
Great video! I didn't know Madrid was so huge in size, wow
I plan to visit in summer 2020
Also I heard they have a think called siestas where they take naps during the day, interesting
That's a mith or cliché, the siesta was originally a nap taken around 3:00pm in the rural areas because it was too hot to work outdoors. Now Spain is a postindustrial society and most of us have no time for a nap.
@@juliosalazar6924, nah, no te empeñes. La gente es muuuu bruta, particularmente los guiris. No hay manera de sacarles un cliché de la cabeza ni con descorchador.
@@robert111k pues sí, supongo que tienes razón. Al menos nos queda de consuelo que ellos nos parecen un poco retrasados 😅
What's with the backstory and then no disclosure ...perhaps not mention it at all then ...
Yep, a bit self indulgent
We missed you
And we missed *you*
