Hi, Real Madrid doesn’t play while we’re in Madrid (Jan 1- Jan 3). Are there any more amaretti games to watch during that time?

Madrid wedding guest questions

I am heading from Canada to Madrid in February to attend a wedding! The problem is my husband and I are backpacking as we are going to stay a month in Europe. I’m wondering how easy it would be to find a dress for the wedding while in Madrid during that month? We will have a few days before the wedding to shop. I know here it’s harder to find dresses etc in the colder months so unsure if I should risk it, since my backpack won’t have a lot of room to bring one. I also am not sure what style of dress is good for weddings and colour. I know I was told no black already but that’s all I know so far.

Spa for massage?

I'll be in Madrid near Plaza de Espana on mid December. I'd like to find somewhere to get a massage--my hotel doesn't have a spa so that's out.

Any suggestions?

New Years Eve Madrid Ideas?

Hi All, My husband and I (both 32) are spending 4 days around New Year’s Eve in Madrid this year! I have left it late to be planning it all! I’m interested in either doing a flamenco show or the Main Square for the actual midnight saga! Or a meal at a nice hotel! Any suggestions? If we do the square, when do people start queuing? Open to any ideas and places to see and where to eat for my trip! Many thanks and can’t wait to see this beautiful city!

I’m bringing a group into Madrid in January for some meetings with one of our work teams from Malaga. Any tips on a decent hotel for meetings, seeing the sites and nearby restaurants and bars! Twenty people for 4 nights (over a weekend). We plan to visit Toledo and do some team building.

Hands on cooking classes!

Want to learn some typical dishes and looking for a total participatory class. I don’t want to watch someone cook— I want to cook with instruction. Any recommendations for a hands-on experience? Will be in Madrid 11/25-12/9.

Where to stay with 2.5 year old?

Hello! First time potential travelers to Madrid, hoping to go this April with my husband, 64 year old mother (who is very active), and our 2.5 year old daughter. My husband and I have traveled abroad a lot, and our daughter went to Portugal with us this past summer, so we have some experience navigating travel in new cities with a toddler. That said, we aren’t sure we want to stay in busy areas of the city and are curious if there are quiet areas in or around Madrid that would be good for a family to be based at? We love cafes, museums, parks, and anything outdoors. Thank you for any help!

Santuario Festival at Sala Groove, Pinto

My wife and I are in our 40s and we are planning to attend Santuario at Sala Groove, in Pinto, next weekend. I'm looking forward to Sisters of Mercy and hoping to hear some new things.

This will be our first time attending a club in Madrid and we are a bit older, plus it's in Pinto and we haven't visited there yet. We're already on MetroSur but it will still be a bit of a trip out late at night.

Any tips or suggestions? or perhaps is anyone else going? any and all comments welcome, gracias.

Staying in Azca neighborhood, recommendations?

Hello! We are staying in the Azca neighborhood next week for four days. What are some must-see/do/eats in the immediate vicinity and what is the best method of transport into more touristy areas? Walk, hired car, public transport? (I am assuming/inferring that Azca has fewer tourist attractions)

Planning a trip to Madrid next March! So many questions!

Hi, I am starting to plan out a trip to Madrid and I have so many questions. (We're a couple in our 20s, first big trip)

One of the main things I'm wondering is if there is like long lines/waits to get into places, were going to be there March 14-22. We want to check out some museums, but I wanted to be prepared if there is gonna be huge lines. Or if there is a better time to check out the museums, like evening vs. morning, and will it be less busy on the weekdays? Also, should we be booking tickets for these in advance?

Another question I have is what time does nightlife start/end?

I am also looking at day trips to take out of Madrid- Toledo, Segovia, El Escorial, Avila, and Aranjuez. Should any of these places be visited together/same day? Should I try to visit all of these places or spend more time in the city of Madrid?

Thanks in advance!

Thanksgiving in Madrid?

I'm from California and will be in Madrid with my family on Thanksgiving Day. Any suggestions for a memorable Spanish dinner? Looking for Spanish cuisine even though it's an American holiday. My kids love all sorts of food, so I'm not looking for "kid meals". Seeking a local vibe. Thank you!

poetry open mics?

Hi there! I just moved to Spain and my friends and I are spending the weekend in Madrid. Are there any spots that do Open Mics on the weekend?

I just came out of the poetry closet and I want to surprise my friends by performing some of my poems for them. We just want to experience something different and thought this would be a good idea.

Any area is fine, we’re going to be everywhere and I can get info for future references as well. Thanks in advance! <3
