Arrived on Madrid early morning left the luggage in the hotel and then walked down to plaza de mayor. Breakfast at arrabals. Cappuccino was great. Ham and cheese was good. Very thin slice of ham though. Orange juice seemed to be freshly squeezed. Croissant was ok was toasted on a flat stove.

This is smoothie heaven per a person that doesn’t really imbibe smoothies. First time had had the mango banana one but my eyes fell on my daughter,s avocado based called avocolada. First back to the Mango banana which I think also had pineapple in it. Was fruity and light…. Very delicious. However when I took a sip of the avocolada, I couldn’t believe how tasty and filling it was. Apparently besides guess what avocados, avocolada also contains spinach. Now if I was told a this at the beginning I probably wouldn’t have even taken a sip. But it seems Hawa has come up with recipe that the imbiber doesn’t taste it alll. Parents take note. Prices were right for nyc. Hope to able to replicate when I get back home. Just a warning for those not knowing that avocados do oxidize a bit rapidly. So despite the excellent sealing that Hawa does, you might find the taste changing a bit after some time. Love to get it again.

Ordered a variety of dishes. Food was quite good but the service at times didn’t match the quality. Margaritas were supposed to really good but the buildup didn’t match this quality either.
