Madrid is also famous for its vast selection of bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as for what it has to offer in food: Tapas, a wide variety of restaurants, food shops of various origins and ethnic flavors. Especially around Puerta del Sol, you'll find a high concentration of everything relating to food, drinking, entertainment and staying away from your hotels as long as possible.
To have a drink, the Libertad 8 (Calle Libertad 8) is a small nice and quiet café, it often welcomes cuentacuentos (story tellers) and cantautores. Otherwise, if you prefer flamenco, go near Calle de los Cuchilleros à La Guitarra. To eat cheap, cervecería Cien Montaditos (calle Mayor) sells excellent bocadillos (sandwiches) for 1€.
In Madrid, cinema lovers will find a large choice with plenty of movies in English or Spanish. The Filmoteca (National Filmboard Repertoire Cinema), a must for movie buffs, shows films in their original language. Also the Filmoteca is really cheap. The majority of foreign films are dubbed into Spanish, but many films are also shown concurrently in their original language with spanish subtitles.
If you want to see some non Holywood movies: cinema Renoir and Alphaville (metro Plaza de España) are your best choice. Go also near Gran vía and Plaza de Callao. You can find the majority of cinemas in Madrid around Gran Via and in all the commercial centers.
