Hobbies Vicente is the ...

... next one to your location

He has a lot of nearly-vintage kits and used to hava some good offers, the last time I was there (nearly a year ago)

If you like Aviation "Cuatro Vientos" museum is nice and next to M113, there is a Armoured Veichles museum too in a Garrison outside Madrid (in the North) called "El Goloso" but you need to arrage an appointment first (They have some fine artifacts T-26, Pz-1, CV-33, Pz-IV,....)

For cocido

Hello Ciro!

Not far from Gran Vía, almost behind the Senate you have a classic place to have a nice "cocido", La Bola. Nevertheless, it is rather strange for someone from Madrid to have such a strong and hot dish when it is almost 35º!

Better to ask your hotel to make a reservation. Other places are "La Daniela" and "Lhardy" (the latter more expensive, XIXth decor)

Best regards and enjoy

Antonio
