So do you actually know how to eat these snails
Yeah, they're a bit crunchy. Would that suit you, do you think? I don't know, I don't know. I don't know
What do you think that sells? Maybe you'll give us it as a souvenir. 500 for both. 500 for two of them
Offer, offer. Offer, offer. All right, I agree. Time Out has once again named the Embajadores neighbourhood in Madrid as one of the top
10 coolest in the world, after a Reader's Poll last year placed it at number one
Located in the centre of the capital, Embajadores is renowned for being a hip district where
family-run bars selling Spanish snails, originally from the Spanish, are now selling Spanish snails
Embajadores is renowned for being a hip district where family-run bars selling Spanish snails
brush shoulders with retro cafes serving filter coffee and five different kinds of water
Have you ever seen a glass beaker to pour your tea? With a few hours to kill before a reception with Her Majesty's new ambassador to Spain
the olive spress dipped into the neighbourhood for a closer inspection. When Spanish families began to move out of the centre in favour of a quieter suburban
life, Embajadores became a cheap place for a kaleidoscope of immigrant communities to
move in and make it their own. The colourful neighbourhood soon became a hit with young artists interested in an alternative
liberal lifestyle. The blend of baroque terraced blocks with graffiti and urban decay has bequeathed Embajadores
with an edgy, cool environment. But not everyone agrees. No, maybe not, maybe not the coolest
Right, but then again, if you say you're cool, it kind of generally means you aren't
Okay, my name is Adrian, I'm an interior designer and I'm the art director of this showroom
One special music video where some of our pieces took place in and it was the last of Madonna
Medellín, everybody has some video. My name is John People, we are taking out the old neighbourhood and refurbishing and
remaking it to make it new. So it has to be the coolest area, but we'll see
Are you one of these new people? No, this is my grandfather's bar
Really, is it really? We were old and now we are vintage, so that's really good
That's what happened with the neighbourhood, it was old five years ago and now it's vintage
That's what happened with the neighbourhood, it was old five years ago and now it's vintage. There are ideas and associations, there are many things
There are quite a few anarchists in the Podemos series, right? Yes, but they are not bad people at all
It's just a place where you can play with ideas. Yes, where they feel more free
It's a little oasis for this kind of people. Embajadores abounds with shops seemingly selling cannabis, while art flourishes and progressive
ideas feature on every street corner. Retro furniture shops like IKB191 based in a converted underground garage are far from out of place
But one thing is for certain, is the people who live here may hate it for the same reasons they adore it
Take care of the waste. That's what I would say. Don't spoil it
Because it's a beautiful neighbourhood where you can find everything. From South America to Asia
You can eat, drink and have fun with all these people
