PLASTIC FANTASTIC
These colourful boots from Miu
Miu evoke memories of jumping
in puddles and splashing, carefree,
with school friends. Pointy Perspex
ankle boots are just one of the high-
lights from Miu Miu’s latest collec-
tion which is playful and practical,
with utilitarian outerwear a focus.
Launching this season’s designs,
Miuccia Prada sent her models
down the catwalk in pastel tones
with a sports luxe feel. Perfect for
this season’s changeable weather,
the boots come in eye-catching
combinations, fuorescent plastic
collars tied with toggles and a
quirky nail heel, providing a chic
option for the winter months. df

Madrid favourites with Ximena Daneri

FUTURE FASHION
With a mission to promote young
Spanish designers, Enfant Ter-
rible has created a space that is fun
and innovative. The idea is that
a local designer uses the store as
a platform in which to showcase
their work, whether for a day, a
week or a month, meaning that
Enfant Terrible’s ofering changes
frequently. Walk through the en-
trance, which is surrounded by a
fve-metre-high vertical garden,
and inside you can expect to fnd
anything from cocktail dresses
and fne jewellery to headwear
and soft furnishings. One thing is
certain, a trip to Enfant Terrible is
never boring. irs

SWISS STYLE
This season’s collection from
Bally pays homage to the Swiss
company’s chic heritage. The
women’s line contrasts masculine-
style tailoring with luxury fabrics
including cashmere, nappa leather
and soft suede. Separates, such as a
cashmere knee-length pencil skirt,
form the basis of a luxurious but
understated wardrobe. Look out
for the Gentlewoman bag: based
on the style of a Bally shoe from
1935, the cross-body design is
sharp and sophisticated. irs

Taste
Part of enjoying any city is to be able
to dine where the locals eat. With
that in mind, Lauren Aloise saw
a gap in the market and launched
Madrid Food Tour in 2012 after
spending several years working
as a food writer in the city. ‘When
I came across the idea of a food tour
and realised Madrid didn’t have
one, I acted quickly,’ says Aloise,
who moved to Spain from the US.
Her company links tourists
with guides who take them on cu-

The capital of Spain has a reputa-tion for embracing a variety of in-fuences, bringing together diverse peoples, cultures and cuisine. Ma-drid’s many restaurants are distin-guished due to their acceptance of outside infuences, in both ingre-dient choice and cooking styles, resulting in a deliciously varied gastronomic scene. The city’s cu-linary ofering has wide appeal, of-fering everything from traditional homemade dishes to innovative molecular gastronomy.
Madrid’s own gastronomy incorporates infuences from throughout Spain. In fact, even the city’s signature dish cocido
Madrileño, a chickpea-based stew,
is a combination of stews from a number of regions. Despite the city’s landlocked location, Ma-drid’s citizens are known for their love of seafood, while diners with a sweet tooth will be more than satisfed with torrijas (fried bread with honey or sugar). Tapas cul-ture is also a deep-rooted part of Madrid’s gastronomic scene, with diners travelling from bar to bar to eat raciones, many of which are gourmet standard.
Madrid also remains a hub of Michelin star restaurants, serving contemporary Spanish fusion cui-sine and more traditional dishes with the help of some of the world’s best chefs.
Table Talk
Madrid’s restaurants unite elements of cuisine from all of Spain’s regions,
employing the talents of leading chefs and the fnest available produce to create one of Europe’s most intriguing gastronomic scenes. Verity Hogan peruses the menu at

Вкус Местной Жизни
РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОДFood Tour: «Когда я пришла к идее food-туров и убедилась, что в Мадриде нет ничего подобного, я действовала уже очень быстро», – делится Алоиз, переехавшая в Испанию из Америки.
Компания Madrid Food Tour организует для путешественников кулинарные экскурсии с гидами по тапас-барам, маленьким семейным лавкам и продуктовым рынкам. Дегустируя блюда в исторических тавернах, гости заодно исследуют районы испанской столицы, как, например, Huertas, и проникаются местным образом жизни. Алоиз стремится сохранить камерную атмосферу во время таких прогулок,
Карен Муннис рассказывает о необычных заведениях Мадрида – от семейных таверн до pop-up проектов
Лучший способ до конца прочувствовать город – это отправиться на обед в те же заведения, где бывают местные жители. И это отлично понимает Лорен Алоиз, поскольку она уже несколько лет пишет о ресторанах Мадрида. Обнаружив на этом рынке свободную нишу, в 2012 году она придумала Madrid

поэтому группа, как правило, состоит всего из пяти человек: «Практически на каждой остановке мы знакомимся с семьями, которые управляют собственным маленьким предприятием. Ведь именно это мы ценим больше всего».
Несмотря на то, что Мадрид – один из самых крупных городов Европы, ему удается сохранить спокойную атмосферу. Расслабленный досуг – здесь это национальное хобби: мадридцы любят удобно расположиться на террасе и хорошо покушать поздним вечером: «Никакого напряжения, каждый просто наслаждаются собой и окружающими», – комментирует Алоиз.
Того же мнения придерживается София Бозикис. Она родилась в Канаде и занималась дизайном аксессуаров, а в Мадрид приехала в 2009 году, чтобы сотрудничать с лучшими кожевенными производителями. Но влюбившись в мадридскую культуру, осталась надолго: «Это удивительное ощущение – потеряться среди извилистых улочек, останавливаться в крошечных маленьких кафе и тапас-барах». Как и многие коренные горожане, она больше всего любит район La Latina. В маленьком винном баре La Concha можно с удовольствием открыть бутылочку Rioja, а затем попробовать и другие
многочисленные вина, задержавшись допоздна. Особого внимания достоин и квартал Lavapiés: здесь есть испанские бары, пакистанские рестораны и стильные кафе – все они находятся недалеко друг от друга.
Наряду с традиционными заведениями, укоренными в испанской традиции, в Мадриде становится все больше магазинов, мероприятий и галерей, которые работают в формате pop-up – то есть открываются на непродолжительный срок в необычных местах. Мы особенно рекомендуем посетить такие временные магазины, кафе и просто места отдыха

Анонсы подобных мероприятий распространяются сарафанным радио, поэтому следите за новостями в социальных сетях, чтобы наверняка не пропустить следующее.
Чему бы вы ни посвятили свой досуг в Мадриде, вы непременно почувствуете, что этот город пленяет свои шармом и встречает чередой удивительных заведений, сохранивших традиционный дух.spain.info, madridfoodtour.com,esmejor.es

с открытой террасой. Кроме того, в Мадриде работает специализированное агентство, которое придумывает и проводит небольшие атмосферные события. Как правило, у них характерные названия – например, Te Apartment и Te Patio. Так, проект Te House занял трехэтажное здание в роскошном округе Salamanca и представил посетителям 80 брендов одежды, мебели, ювелирные украшений и аксессуаров, а также кафе, бар и огромную террасу на крыше.
