It was in 1923 that Ernest Hemingway first visited Madrid and, from then on, he fell in love with the city. He even commented that “Madrid is the most Spanish of all the cities in Spain. When you can have the Prado and at the same time El Escorial two hours to the north and Toledo to the south and a beautiful road to \u00c1vila and another beautiful road to Segovia, which is not far from La Granja, you are overcome with despair at the thought that one day you will have to die and leave all that<\/em>“. The Nobel laureate was also fascinated by other Spanish places such as Pamplona – he went to the San Fermines nine times – but his favourite was always Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his long stays in the capital, the writer covered the Civil War, among other historical events, and also wrote several novels. In addition, Hemingway enjoyed Madrid in all its forms: from the bullfighting to the museums and, above all, the gastronomy and bar life. As a tribute to the famous American writer and journalist, we have prepared a route through the bars he frequented and which can still be visited today (although some have changed considerably). Take note of this Hemingway’s Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restaurante Bot\u00edn<\/a> (Cuchilleros, 17)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hemingway had a very special bond with the Bot\u00edn restaurant. He often went there to eat roast suckling pig with wine and he became close friends with Emilio Gonz\u00e1lez, father and grandfather of the current owners. Moreover, in several of his novels he mentioned this legendary restaurant, as in ‘Muerte en la tarde’ (Death in the Afternoon) or ‘Fiesta’. It is even said that he tried to learn how to make paella here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
