coming here to the bottom of. the location scouting 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 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 they get out it's a place where you can get your thoughts roam free the way you can listen to your whole time with those and you get the idea is happening cyrus and that i just moved out. just a few steps away the other astro flea market takes place every sunday. the open air market is more than four hundred years old. this space especially place for me because there's always a mix here of locals from all backgrounds the swellest taurus it's a really democratic space because the. one part of the market is devoted

to antiques today rafael finds something that catches his eye. at the edge of montero park you'll find a piece of ancient egypt the temple of debarred is more than two thousand years old it was a gift from the egyptian governor. and in one nine hundred sixty eight after spain helped save other architectural monuments their point there you go but it must be by this book transporting the structure was in 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 district. 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 lead us many much elaine hughes don't even know that the city has a river between two thousand and six and two thousand and eleven district changed a lot on the river became a mall prominent part of the cityscape and then modern spectacular architecture popped up alongside it 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 northeast of the spanish capital is more reminiscent of new york this is where you'll find the highest skyscrapers in spain the quatro thought a or for towers was designed by a team that included star architect norman foster. failing at the heart of madrid's

. to round off the tour we had for the concert to come both park the former royal hunting grounds are now the perfect place to enjoy a spectacular view of madrid. we stay in madrid for a spectacular dining experience that's where my colleague megan leave visited 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 a bull fights in trials during the spanish inquisition now though it serves as a popular gathering place so i'm standing on madrid's central square the bus on my

are now this place is bustling with activity it's filled with restaurants and cafes and super near shops but what most tourists here do not realize is that just beyond that our twig is the world's oldest restaurant so follow me show you where it is. cold has been redefined in and around. so my your many of the core doors in cobblestone streets also date back centuries there are 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 thing that means the nephew of fourteen 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 gonzalez 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 bo team the oldest restaurant in the world for very specific reasons is that they must be given the same name. working at the same place. were sent to the beginning and 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 protein is famous for its traditional spanish dishes. nowhere but if. they do so tell me about the specialty of this house we've been specialty of the house is roast suckling pig. and it's a very traditional dish when we prepare and in this often. this is

a very special welcome because it dates back to the seventeen twenty five to get some original we all are growing in. 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 cane you. which boasts a long history the one here is for display only since the room produces to much more sure. maybe some of the arguing time center for different reasons some to drink old buildings. or structure on the back up stairs it's time for lunch traditional roast second pig is of course on the menu served by long time beach or do you have your sanchez 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 he was very familiar to those who felt up home he didn't even if you tried to buy one was. not good with results then my grandfather told him and i still 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 we go out 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 lifestyle and culture visit euro max on facebook. highlights from our programmers. 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 last i got out of the familia it's anticipated completion date is twenty twenty six this and tannery of god is 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 basilica of the holy family loss and gratify media 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 project since cody. 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. are started here when they had architect frank van jordi born

a commissioned me to go again there were four of his background when it a get up out of the. well there are more than fifty others working on the site. of the most dusty when. when it's finished plus a gratified media will most likely. it will have eighteen spires and three facades . cody 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 continue the project a foundation raise the funds the work is financed exclusively from donations and entrance fees neither 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 up a few of those up and know that i'm going to start of this are gonna from you

completely unconventional a bit of both the church in parts if you bought 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 sort of struck. by the google. 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. it would be wholly our goal is to finish the project according to antoni gaudi these ideas as much as possible without the about 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. gratify me 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 prom and 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 kennedy's death but even in its unfinished state the church is already one of the best known buildings in
