Yup, after those of Bertrand, Ivan and Alan, it is now my turn. For my final Friday night in Madrid Philippe suggested we follow in the footsteps of Gareth and do a pub crawl along Calle de la Palma. This is a very long street in the Malasaña district of Madrid, full of bars. The plan was to start at one end and go into every single bar on the street for one beer. Given the length of the street and the number of bars, the challenge was quite unrealistic, but that didn’t stop us trying.

There were about 16 of us in the end and I think most had a very good night. A novel way to go out in Madrid and a good way to see a selection of good and bad bars in one night. The only disappointment was that after insisting that we go to the club Sala Siroco to find out that the music was terrible and there was no atmosphere. Until then, I’d never had a bad night in there. A real downer as I’ve such fond memories of the place.
