Caravan Serai Madrid

Where cocktails become works of art

"This hidden gem, located in the Malasaña neighborhood, is a testament to the art of mixology and offers an experience that transcends the ordinary."

Caravan Serai is an enchanting bar that captivates every guest with its exquisite cocktails and magical ambiance. This hidden gem, located in the Malasaña neighborhood, is a testament to the art of mixology and offers an experience that transcends the ordinary. The interior, inspired by the Silk Route, combines detailed decoration with a serene environment, making every visit a journey through time and culture.

One of my favourites is the Aladdin cocktail, a creative masterpiece served in a lamp, complete with a smoke bubble for making wishes. This drink, along with the diverse and carefully crafted cocktail menu, showcases the bar's commitment to innovation and excellence. The warm welcome by the staff adds a personal touch, creating a space where guests can relax and engage in meaningful conversations.

Caravan Serai is a must-visit spot in Madrid, promising an unforgettable night filled with enchantment and delight for locals and travellers alike.

La Cabra en el Tejado
