El Mirador Madrid

Scenic panoramic views

""El Mirador" in Madrid, lit. 'the viewpoint', is the best name one could come up with for this bar. One of the best terraces to have a drink w/ a view."

I don't think this bar had a marketing team analysing how to name it, yet El Mirador is the best name for this spot. El Mirador means in Spanish literally the viewpoint. I would say it's one of the best terraces to have a drink while watching the sunset of Madrid, also for now maybe one of the least known locations.

El Mirador is a simple outdoor bar located in the middle of el parque de las 7 tetas. From it's outdoor tables you can already enjoy stunning views of Madrid. You can also walk around 50 metres max to check other parts of Madrid from a privileged viewpoint. You can climb up the funny formed hills surrounding the complex to have a higher point of view, or simply remain seated and relax by having a drink.

This place is accessible to everybody, as the bar and it's immediate surroundings are completely flat. At its left there is also a children's playground, making it possible to enjoy the terrace while your children play just beside you. A parent's paradise.

Looking at the sunset here is very popular, but it's also nice during the day, and if the bar is full, don't worry, there are many places to sit and bid the sun farewell.

Rebel Cafe

Let them eat cake

The apartment block this cafe sits under is an ugly beauty and I love it, not least for the exuberant planters that are an integral part of the building.
