    Gildas, those briny olive-anchovy-pepper skewers named after the Rita Hayworth film, are the whole thesis here. La Gildería is a vermouth and aperitivo bar in La Latina, near the Rastro market, devoted to the kind of standing-around eating that Madrid does quietly well but rarely formalizes. Canned mussels, razor clams, a potato salad from Murcia, an octopus sandwich with Basque chile mayo. Vermouth pours from Galicia to Cataluña, served on the rocks or with a splash of gin.

    • Gildas

      “La Gildería in the La Latina neighborhood (near the Rastro market) honors items like gildas: olive skewers that draw their name from the Rita Hayworth movie of the same name.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
