A local would say...

The best sunset drink in Madrid comes with a civil war backstory — this hilltop garden was a Republican bunker before it became a bar terrace.

A hillside garden terrace west of La Latina with outdoor cafes offering one of the best vantage points in Madrid for a drink, with views stretching towards the Sierra de Guadarrama. During the civil war this spot was heavily bombarded by nationalist troops from the nearby Casa de Campo — a reminder of the violence woven into these beautiful views. Today it is one of the most tranquil terraza spots in the city.
