Curious to know what Madrid was like in the 1930s? La Venencia that will satisfy your curiosity. During the height of the Spanish Civil War, this bar was one of the few spots where Republican soldiers and other anti-fascists, such as Ernest Hemingway would go.
Nevertheless, this bar is incredibly beautiful with its antique bottles and large barrels of wine that haven’t changed since this historical time period. And if you’re a sherry lover, the bar offers Manzanilla, Fino, Oloroso, Amontillado and Palo Cortado, five Spanish sherries. The sherry bar frequented by Hemingway also has great tapas.
