There is a popular saying in Spanish, which if translated into English will be something like " U will never go to bed without learning something new"
A recent friend of mine just proved that right, when he defined himself as a "hoxton boy". I must confess I was puzzled. Of course I pretended I knew what he meant by that, but honestly I didn´t have a clue.
For those like me, here comes a definition “A scene kid that resides in the London Borough of Hackney area. Hadouken! makes a reference to a Hoxton Hero in their song "That Boy That Girl"”
Probably at this stage you are still as clueless as before. So what better way to understand the concept than go out in your city and try the real Hoxton experience.
For those living or planning to visit Madrid, the “Hoxton” mood is divided equally between Latina & Chueca neighborhoods. Here come some suggestions:
For a good Hoxton Dinner:
Cava Alta, 17 (+34 913 658 237)
Probably one of the best tapas & wine experience in the city without tourist and in a cozy atmosphere, ideal for everybody looking for good food and wine and a different place.
For a casual quick early lunch:
LA MUSA LATINA (http:/la musalatina.com)
Costanilla San Andrés, 12 (+34 913 540 255)
A classic in the city but always reinventing himself. Best to go on a weekday for an early lunch.
For a nice roof terrace Hoxton experience:
Plaza de Vázquez de Mella 12 (+34 917 011 173)
Relaxed but active, and not pretentious and snobby as many of their counterparts in other city hotels. Just people enjoying the view and the company. A must if you want to experience the new Madrid
For a Hoxton Shopping experience:
There are numerous places but a few of them are:
Monkey Britstyle (Hernán Cortés, 14), Rivendel (Fernando el Católico, 6), Upbeat (Espíritu Santo, 6). Isolée (Infantas 19)
PS: At last I talked about Madrid!
Great places!!!!! cool and chic all of them ....specially the ROOM MATE OSCAR HOTEL ROOF TERRACE
