I PARTY at La Turba (3 Conde de Xiquena). Fab cocktails and cool music. The bar’s owner, Javier, is the perfect host.

I EAT at El Bogavante de Almirante (11 Almirante). Cool restaurant specialising in fish and rice dishes.

I SHOP at Benny Room (17 Conde de Xiquena). Gorgeously decorated boutique, selling chic, feminine clothing.

Spanish fashion designer Adolfo Dominguez became famous, among other things, for his motto in the 1980s, “La arruga es bella”, meaning “wrinkles are beautiful”.
