About La Madriguera de Mai
La Madriguera de Mai, tucked away on C. Arrayán in the Macarena district, is a restaurant that offers more than just food. Reviewers consistently rave about the warm, familial atmosphere created by María and Mai. Several people celebrated birthdays here, some with large groups (around 40 people), and felt right at home. The space itself is small, which means you're close to the action, especially if you catch one of their Saturday evening flamenco shows. Expect authentic song, dance, and guitar alongside your tapas. People from France specifically mention the festive and convivial vibe. The administrator and team get high marks for their excellent service. While hours aren't consistently available online, the five-star reviews (over 1100 of them) suggest it's worth the effort to find out when they're open.
