The Rolling Stones have chosen Madrid to start the Sixty European tour, the first in which their legendary drummer will not participate, charlie wattswho passed away last summer. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Wood they arrived in Madrid yesterday and, although Richards and Wood managed to avoid the media during the day (who knows if by staying at the hotel), Jagger went out to visit Madrid, where he spent the day among parks, museums and, of course, bars.
The singer of the Stones has been photographed next to the statue of the fallen angel in the park of Retirementwatching Gernika in the Reina Sofia Museum and enjoying a beer in a tavern. The bar chosen by Jagger has been the Angel Sierra Taverna hundred-year-old winery –inaugurated in 1908– located in the Plaza de Chueca.
The very picturesque bar is decorated with Cuban wood and tiles from the Cartuja de Sevilla, and is one of the few taverns in Madrid that retains the wood and tin bar, how they used to be. More than to eat, this is a bar to drink beers or vermouth with olives. It doesn’t have a kitchen, but it does.
It is not the first time that the tavern has concentrated the media spotlight. Pedro Almodovar chose it in 1995 to locate one of the scenes of The flower of my secret.

Although he has not shared it on Twitter, it has also emerged that Jagger was eating at Las Tortillas de Gabino, the chef’s veteran restaurant Nino Redruello. There he ate, along with several of his collaborators – but none of his groupmates – several vegetable dishes. For second, everyone ordered the famous escalope of the house, except for Jagger, who opted for a sea bass. He spent 60 euros on his meal, but left a tip of 200.
The Rolling Stones In Mono
There was no news of Wood and Richards until the night came, when both guitarists accompanied Jagger to a flamenco party held in his honor, in which the singer performed Israel Fernandez.
