What Appricio would tell you to do in Madrid

Shop · Centro
PANTA RHEI
A bookshop-gallery founded in 2001 focused on visual culture, illustration and creativity — its shelves are paired with original prints for sale and hands-on workshops run by working creatives.
Café · Malasaña
NAJI SPECIALTY COFFEE
Named after its Iraqi-born owner, this small café built its reputation on an authentic pistachio latte that has nothing to do with syrup sweetness — a genuinely individual voice in the specialty scene.
Shop · Barrio de las Letras
Librería Desperate Literature (Bookshop)
A tightly curated multilingual bookshop frequented by expats and local readers alike, with strong fiction picks in English, French and Spanish and a genuine sense of literary community.
