Pawn Sacrifice – a night of chess & drinking at Desperate Literature bookstore

Our favorite bookstore in Madrid is holding yet another fun event on Sept. 16 at 8pm to say goodbye to summer. What’s the pretext? The launch of Bobby Fischer bio-thriller, ‘Pawn Sacrifice’. So expect chess, drinks and laughs – all on the house! Here’s the event page.

 




Mercado de las Ranas (the Frogs’ Market) in Barrio de las Letras

All the shops in this charming Madrileño neighborhood — El Barrio de las Letras — come together to celebrate The Frogs’ Market on the first Saturday of every month. Amongst the neighborhood’s sweet streets, local stores offer all types of events and activities, from tapas and vermouth tastings, to art exhibitions and story-telling sessions for the little ones.

If you find yourself in the center of Madrid on Saturday, don’t miss out on this lovely neighborhood market and find, amongst its nooks and crannies, the array of treats that the Frogs’ Market has to offer.
