SUNDOWN TO SUN UP

Move over, Barcelona. Madrid nights are the stuff of legend. Cocktail bars are all the acción (action). Pull up a perch in Macera Tallerbar for artisanal beverages, create a bespoke recipe at SALMON GURU, or soak up the old-school glamour of 1862 Dry Bar. Food is the precursor to partying. A visit to the architecturally striking MERCADO DE SAN MIGUEL is a must for specialities from Basque pintxos to Iberian jamón. At night, follow a local to clandestine haunts on a Devour Madrid Tapas, Taverns & History tour, $160; madridfoodtour.com.
