Madrid is not especially known for its native cuisine. Other Spanish regions like Basque Country, Catalunya or Galicia are much more famous for their food, and rightly so. Madrid foods tend to be heavy, hearty and, well, contain ingredients to which foreigners are not accustomed. Thus the lukewarm reputation.

Nevertheless, the bold and strong-stomached might be pleasantly surprised by typical foods in Madrid. If anything, they do their specialties well.

Next September Madrid will accomodate the 48^th edition of Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week, the main showcase for Spanish fashion which bears comparison with those in Paris and Milan. Designers from all over the country will be presenting their ideas for the spring-summer 2009 with the objective to open up markets all over the world.
