My favourite Misela bag for days:
I love the Blanca at Anatolia model because it allows me to carry all my everyday things without feeling limited in space. I love bags that can be useful at any time of the day, even if you suddenly have to carry more stuff than you initially expected. Plus, I love being able to carry it cross-body or over the shoulder.
My favourite Misela bag for a night out in Madrid:
In the evening, I prefer small bags (also shoulder bags, but with a short handle), but big enough to hold my phone, keys, maybe a lipstick... without being too small. It makes me very nervous not being able to carry the bare minimum, so the Carolina at Belgravia bag is absolutely perfect for that. It's light enough to wear with a day look too; it's very versatile.
My go-to tapas bars in Madrid are:
Casa Baranda and Bodega La Ardosa, which are side by side. You need to try Buñuelos de Bacalao (cod fritters) at La Ardosa; they are delicious.
The top 3 shops you can only find in Madrid are:
- Tado pottery for great ceramics (C/ Echegaray, 31)
- Gonzalez & Gonzalez for home goodies (C/ Pelayo, 68)
- Javier Sanchez Medina studio, he creates amazing pieces with bamboo, wicker, and rattan. His animal heads, which are made of rattan, are so unique.
The best people-watching spot:
Museo Sorolla, which is the old house of the Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla. The garden is delicious, you can go there to read a book or just to enjoy the flowers and trees.
