the big winner
Madrid It is one of the five cities with the most bars in the world, but in The World's 50 Best Bars they still think that we drink a little that way, that of beers yes but of cocktails not so much : and a horn.
The news for Spain is apparently good: ** Paradiso by Giacomo Giannotti in Barcelona** and ** Salmón Gurú by Diego Cabrera in Madrid**, for the first time, slip into 50 Best Bars . The first goes up from 67 to 37 (thirty stalls!) and the cocktail bar that is changing everything in the Barrio de las Letras from 82 to 47. Peanuts.
Huge's Dry Martini Javier de las Muelas it is still on the tail train and they enter, as novelties —the two, in Barcelona— ** Two Schmucks and Dr. Stravinsky **, the fabulous bar in the heart of Born; Be careful with Barcelona, there are already four bars on the list.
The Two Schmucks team
But what do you want me to tell you: I still have (regarding these awards) a bit of a feeling of abandonment, of a small town in the provinces, that this party is not mine and that the beautiful girl is not that she does not look at us , is that he is already on his second child with that English notary with John Lobb shoes.
“Alcohol is the anesthesia thanks to which we endure the operation of living”, George Bernard Shaw he thought like us and I think so especially with respect to these awards that, the truth is, we don't care a bit. Because… what about Angelita, Del Diego, Residence or Solange? What about the Lemon in Menorca or the fabulous work of Nacho Ussia in The Alchemix ?
And the (supposedly) best? My darling ** American Bar , the legendary Savoy bar, perhaps the most important hotel in London (César Ritz or Escoffier passed through here) that today is in the hands of the bartender Erik Lorincz loses first place which goes to **Dandelyan by Ryan Chetiyawardana , at the Mondrian hotel also in the city. It should not surprise us that it is indeed the city with the most bars in the world. Also the best.
Without further ado, these are the 15 best bars in the world and the complete list, here.
I keep thinking that a good bar is an embassy and a good bartender the best travel companion for so many gray days; so what else will the prizes give , if ours is so easy to find behind each bar.
