Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This street was one of the highlights of our trip to Madrid. It might only be a relatively short street but it’s one of the best. It’s a warren of tapas bars, with around 50 or so in the one small area. We started at one end and made our way along them, picking and choosing in a random sort of way. The street follows the curves of the original 12th-century city wall and in some of the bars like Posada del Dragon, you can still see remains of some of the wall. 
    Our top three places were:
    1. La Concha
    2. Pousada del Dragon
    3. Casa Luca
    La Concha was our absolute favourite. A tiny place full of character that served an amazing vermouth cocktail and complimentary tapas. They make their own vermouth which they sell at €12 a bottle. We left with our backpack clinking because we'd bought two.

    This is a small museum in Madrid dedicated to the archaeology and history of the city. Entry is free, and exhibits include a wide variety of displays and artifacts describing the earliest days of human habitation in the region through about the sixteenth or seventeenth century. My favorite exhibits included models showing the urban development of Madrid over time.

    Though small, the sixteenth-century building itself is a highlight. There are multiple levels and numerous details to explore, such as a lovely interior courtyard and an ancient well.

    When I visited there was a temporary exhibit featuring large-scale photography of an archaeological site in Egypt. I really appreciated that the pictures focused on the local Egyptian workers participating in the dig.

    Highly recommended for those interested in history, archaeology, and architecture.

    Skip the El Rastro flea market and head straight here. It is filled with wonderful and quality antique shops and is open on Sunday.

    This museum is quite new and few people know about it. What is interesting about this museum is that it explains many customs of Spain and it shows what costumes are used during fiestas, many of the costumes being very colorful.

    I visited this with a group of visually imparted and sighted people accompanied by an official Madrid tour guide. We were told that we could not go into the area with the well because it was dangerous. (We went anyway because all the other people visiting the museum were allowed in the room). I am not sure why they said it was dangerous as there were barriers around and over the well. We then went out into the courtyard where there were some extremely weather beaten stone figures just on display. They were not fenced off or anything, so some of the visually imparted people started to feel the statues to understand what it was like. We were told via our quide (because the musum staff appeared to speak no English) that we were damaging the statues by touching them. In the end we gave up and left the museum because wherever we went we had a member of staff saying that we could not go here or there. But other members of the public did not seem to be subjected to the same type of harassment as our group.
