| The Cinema Opposite The Cortezo Hotel Madrid |
The Cortezo Hotel Madrid is in a fairly quiet street, and right over the road is a cinema that shows films in their original version (VO). Which means there are a lot of films in English. Generally there are 2 showings a night, with the first starting between 19:30 and 20:30, and the second starting between 22:00 and 22:30.
If you walk to the end of the road away from the metro, after 20 metres you'll come to a square. Here you'll find a 'Chocolateria' - which is a café that specialises in the traditional Spanish 'Chocolate' (drink) and 'Churros' (dough sticks to dip in the drink). I can assure you that they are delicious from this café.

For a cashpoint, head down the road back towards the metro. In this square (Tirso de Molina) you'll come across various small grocery stores, banks, and nick-knack shops. Opposite the hotel is another terrace where you can sit outside.
The major sites like the Plaza Mayor where you'll find many restaurants and bars and the Tourist Information centre; and Puerta del Sol, where you'll find many shops - are 5 minutes on foot. 5 minutes in the direction of the Tirso de Molina metro will take you to Madrid's oldest and most famous Sunday market - 'El Rastro'.
