A HEALTHY GUIDE TO MADRID: PLANS
I am all about healthy eating but I must confess that I have a hard time keeping up with a workout routine. On the contrary, my husband practices a lot of sport and once a year runs a race. His favorite is Carrera de la Ciencia (Science Race). It takes place once a year and it raises money for scientific reasearch.
Other important races in Madrid:
- Women’s race (March 8)
- Race against cancer (March)
- Madrid’s half marathon (April)
- San Silvestre Vallecana (December)
If you aren’t a runner, there are plenty of gyms and fitness studios like:
A HEALTHY GUIDE TO MADRID: FOOD
The eating options in Madrid are endless and the number of healthy restaurants is skyrocketing. We recently discovered Cafe Run Run Run which opened last may and is a haven for runners. It’s a restaurant and running club all in one place. Their menu includes foodie faovrites such as avocado toast or eggs benedict and many vegan options. There are many flexitarian and a few paleo friendly dishes as well. The decor is fun and unique which makes it also one of those Instagram worthy spots that you can’t miss in Madrid.
These are our favorite healthy restaurants in Madrid:
- Mama Campo at Plaza Olavide offers healthy delicious food made with ingredients bought from local farmers. Sustainability is their main goal, which can be seen in the wooden furniture and organic products.
- Superchulo, a 100% vegetarian restaurant in the trendy district of Malasaña.
- Elektra serves organic food and has many vegan and vegetarian options. Be sure to check out their Sunday brunch!
- La Cupula de los Peñotes offers healthy food at an environmentally friendly restaurant napkins are biodegradable and plates and glasses are made with 100% recycled glass.
- Raw Coco can be found in Madrid (2 locations) Gijon and Valencia. This cafe, bar and restaurant offers organic products and is famous for its cold press juices and smoothies. We love the Caribbean style decor as well!

The thing I love about these old European cities is that they are so pedestrian friendly that you can get your steps while sightseeing.
