Momix, Mexican & Lounge Bar

Wicked Madrid! So many plans, so little time. Or then again, maybe not.

As my dearest Charlie Brown so wisely taught me, “enjoy life and those around you” (not in those words exactly, but he leads through example more than he does through words…)

So, off I go to a Wednesday night plan, which outlooked short and promising. In the end, it became a “politician-night”, i.e., fulfilling only half the promises. The good news is that delivered the best one of the two (the quality of the show, that is).

1. FEELING INTELECTUAL - We went to see MOMIX’s “Sun Flower Moon” – a theatre/dance performance act @ Teatro Albérniz, near Puerta del Sol. What can I say…an amazing spectacle, brought to you by an astonishingly good dancer group, mysterious yet simple visual effects, and a matching soundtrack. This sufficed to get the audience in trance during the show and euphoric at the end of it, discussing the physical limitations that made the impossible seem real.

2. FEELING HUNGRY - The show had left us (me & a few other intellectual wanna-bes) with our stomachs roaring. Being in the centre of the city, within a walking range you have great variety …of tapas! Our rebellion had no LIMITS! We went to the Mexican LA MORDIDA. Great spot, with highlights being: nachos con queso y guacamole, calabacín relleno, fajín con pollo…con sangria!

3. FEELING GROOVY – Laydown was the place to be. White lounge, white beds, white people, reddish atmosphere. One drink to the sound of music, one “hola, encantada” to the DJ, one night well spent.

Total: A great plan for a Wednesday night.
