coming here to the bottom. of. the location scout often brings clients from the film and photography industry here. this is my favorite place imma try to have breakfast because we're away from the noise but it's still in the center of the city you know that it's a district that draws a lot of artists like actors from film television and theatre and you can even hear the birds chirping here and it it's a place we can get your thoughts roam free where you can listen to your whole time those than it is happening inside us and that just with time. just a few steps away the other astro flea market takes place every sunday. in the open air market is more than four hundred years old. this is a special place for me because there's always a mix here of locals from all backgrounds as well as stories it's already democratic space because the. one part of the market is devoted to

antiques today rafael find something that catches his eye. at the edge of montera park you'll find a piece of ancient egypt the temple of de bog is more than two thousand years old it was a gift from the egyptian govern. went in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight after spain helped save other architectural monuments there for the eagle but it must be punished by transporting the structure was his difficulties solving the problem of where to put it you know i mean this in the end they decided to put the temple here close to the city center. it's in one of the city's most desirable districts. and that draws people here. another attraction is the park came under it rio in what was once the neglected western part of the city. today it's in

a way says for locals on the banks of the months are not as river. which of money lend us many measure lazio's don't even know that the city has a river between two thousand and six and two thousand and eleven this district changed a lot the river became a more prominent part of the cityscape and then modern spectacular architecture popped up alongside it and i guess spectacular. many buildings were converted like this former slaughterhouse which has been turned into a cultural center. at the moment the exhibits on display focus on the topics of movement temple. the north east of the spanish capital is more reminiscent of new york this is where you'll find the highest skyscrapers in spain the quantrill taught or four towers was designed by a team that included star architect norman foster. they lie at the heart of

hundreds new business district. for more traditional atmosphere head for the sweet shop love violetta in the city center the small family owned business has been producing violet flavored candy for over one hundred years. lots of people give them as gifts at birthdays weddings baptisms a first communion and we have special versions of these events oh you can buy them as a souvenir isn't a dream when you get money. back to the old district of latino location scout rafael did you go i stopped off at his favorite bar. rodrigues to do that. is that i thought of that was the we kind of this place and made a judgment around since eight hundred sixty in office a very authentic color no experience it's a mixture of madrid and you in past cuisine it's wonderful.

to round off the tour we head for the casa de come both park the former royal hunting grounds are now the perfect place to enjoy a spectacular view of madrid. we stay in madrid now for a spectacular dining experience that's where my colleague megan leave business said what is allegedly the world's oldest restaurant at least according to the guinness book of world records that is the sobrino teen opened in seventeen twenty five tastes have changed a lot since then so how could a restaurant survive for so many years meghan went to find out the secret recipe. madrid's famous passed on my or squares almost four hundred years old it bore witness to all fights and trials during the spanish inquisition now though it serves as a popular gathering place so i'm standing on madrid central square plus on my you

are now this place is bustling with activity it's filled with restaurants and cafes and souvenir shops but what most tourists here do not realize is that just beyond that archway is the world's oldest restaurant so follow me show you where it is. cold has been redefined in and around. some mind you are many of the corridors and cobblestone streets also date back centuries or hidden gems lurking around every corner but only one holds a very special title. so here we are at the oldest restaurant in the world do you know the team that means the nephew of protein and spanish on the teams were the original owners of this establishment words at first wasn't in it was a french couple who started it so let's go inside and see what we discover. the gonzalez family took over the restaurant in the one nine hundred thirty s.

now in its third generation antonio gonzales is the managing director family tradition here is keep the decor of the restaurant reflects both the present owners personal touch as well as the original style. in one thousand nine hundred eighty six the guinness book of world records designated the oldest restaurant in the world for a very specific reasons is that they must be given the same name they would be working at the same place i stopped working since the beginning we are completely in. the restaurant opens daily at one pm but before that the staff are busy making all the preparations for the lunch crowds. is famous for its traditional spanish dishes. where what is. it so tell me about the specialty of this house we've been assured on the specialty of the house is roast suckling pig. which and it's a very traditional dish and we prepare it in this office so this is

a very special welcome because it dates back to the seventeen twenty five it's an original we all are growing and some. of the sort of. one floor below the kitchen antonio tells me that this dining room is even older than the restaurant dating back to fifteen eighty it leads down to a cave. which boasts a long history the whining here is for display only since the room produces too much more i sure. use maybe some of the arguing time center years for the first son to drink old buildings and. arriving in construction on the back of stairs it's time for lunch traditional roast second pig is of course on the menu served by a good long time to have your son sheds after forty years of protein he's also

become a permanent fixture here he tells me one suckling pig can serve up to five people. one particular guest used to eat here quite regularly and that is the american writer ernest hemingway in fact he liked this restaurant so much that he wrote about it in this book the sun also rises and also one of the other books death in the afternoon and tony what do you know about hemingway's time here very familiar to roast beef rolled up home here even if you tried to buy one was. not good with results then my grandfather told him and i still do so keep on writing i mean we could buy you know myself. i have to read this famous passage from the second to last page of hemingway's book because he mentions exactly this dish he says we lunched upstairs at both teams is one of the best restaurants in the world we had roast young suckling pig and we drink. so in this spirit i

guess it's time to raise our glasses and say salute and to the next few hundred years of business i. want to know more about european my style and culture visit euro max on facebook. and highlights from our programmes. three hundred sixty degree videos of the most beautiful places in europe and snapshots taken by our reporters take an exclusive look behind the scenes at how the program is produced and follow us on facebook live. we do love it when fans visit our facebook page and give us their feedback visit d.w. euro max on facebook. moving on now it's a bus alone on the east coast of spain the architect and artist and on the go di left his mark all over the city one of the most famous of his constructions is the

unfinished roman catholic church. emilia its anticipated completion date is twenty twenty six this and tenor of gaudi's death but if you go by the pace of construction so far it's anybody's guess if that goal will ever be achieved. however having been there myself i can say that the work in progress is well worth a visit to. the a silicon of the holy family got a funny idea is one of barcelona's best known landmarks. work has been in progress on the church designed by catalan architect antoni gaudi for over one hundred thirty years. joining folly is the seventh architect to oversee the projects in scouting and he's been leading the work since two thousand and twelve and has been a member of the project team since one nine hundred ninety. you pick a that are started here when they had architects back then your db on

a commission to me. so there were four of us background on it a bit outside of the fifteen a gallon or more than fifty i was working on the site. the most that he would see. when it's finished plus a gratify media will like this. it will have eighteen spiers and three facades. koji oversaw his life's work for more than four decades until he was run over by a tram and killed in one nine hundred twenty six after his death architects from around the globe continues to project a foundation raise the funds the work is financed exclusively from donations and entrance fees needed the spanish government nor the catholic church provides money for the project. nevertheless each year around twenty five million euros is raised to finish out his creation. moment it will be one of them give a local feel good stuff you know that i'm going to start of the sagrada familia

completely unconventional. book utopia church in parts here's. part of the first part wasn't the foundation of the interior name but he did it yossi instead he and his workers put up the facade of the. the birth as a symbol of the afterlife so to speak. but a good all. critics often point to the overloaded symbolism of the exterior. anyone who goes inside is surprised by how like the modern gothic style church scenes. go d. was an intuitive architect his ideas often developed as he worked and he didn't leave behind blueprints for his successors. if you will. because our goal is to finish the project according to antoni gaudi his ideas as much as possible without give us why we've got to study the few

documents that he left behind in great detail to make his vision into reality i don't feel that he actually. wrote a funny here is the most important site in barcelona and an important economic factor. more than three million tourists come to the catalan city each year to see the church. views among the locals about the project differ the crowds of tourists who come to see the church have changed the neighborhood souvenir shops and kiosks have forced out businesses from around the church and there's another thing that worries the residents back when the building started the construction site was in the middle of the field now the surrounding area is completely built up and some of the buildings will have to be torn down to implement county's original plans for the promise not in front of the main facade. the target date for finishing the project is twenty twenty six just in time for the one hundredth anniversary of county's death but even in its unfinished date the church is already
