Cheap flights from Boston to Madrid from £189

One metro ticket within the first zone costs €1.5. If you are in Madrid for a few days, you are unlikely to leave this area, unless you want to see residential and industrial areas. Still, if you want to take ML2 or ML3 metro lines, one ticket will cost €2.

La Casa Encendida hosts workshops and conferences on a variety of topics. Sometimes the centre organises editorial exhibitions in which design studios from Europe and America take part. It also hosts free indie concerts, parties, and presentations of new products from well-known brands. There is a terrace on the roof of the house, where you can sit, have a glass of beer or wine, and eat tapas.

Museo del Jamón shops and bars are scattered throughout the city. Here you can ask to cut and pack the jamon if you like to take it with you or eat right there. Jamón ibérico de bellota from black pigs is considered the best jamon. Jamón serrano made from white pigs is cheaper – it starts from € 20 per kg. The most expensive varieties of jamon go up to € 300 per kilo.
