San Miguel Market

Mercado de San Miguel is a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore the most distinctive flavours of Spanish cuisine. Located just a stone's throw away from Plaza Mayor, this renowned wholesale food market has become one of the most significant culinary hotspots in all of Europe. Here, you'll find some of the city's finest gourmet foods and delicacies, ranging from exquisite wines and delectable cheeses to savoury hams and cured meats. It's the perfect spot to stop for a mid-afternoon tapas and a glass of wine, all while taking in the vibrant energy of this bustling market.

Reina Sofía National Art Centre Museum

Located in the Golden Triangle of Art alongside the Prado Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Reina Sofía National Art Centre is housed in a massive former hospital dating from the mid-18th century. Its collection consists mainly of Spanish works from the 20th century. Among the works on display are pieces by renowned artists such as Dalí, Miró, and Juan Gris, as well as the gallery's prized possession, Picasso's 'Guernica'.

Flamenco

Madrid is a city that is globally recognised for its remarkable Flamenco performances, which can be enjoyed at numerous taverns and bars scattered throughout the city. Flamenco is not just a dance, but also a form of music that accompanies the dance. Originating from Andalusia, it is well-known for its guitar-accompanied songs, complex techniques of foot-stomping, hand-clapping, and the use of castanets. For an unforgettable Flamenco display, the 'Corral de la Moreria' is the place to be.

Atletico de Madrid Tour & Museum

Real Madrid may be the biggest and most successful club in the city, but it certainly doesn’t stand unchallenged. Just across town lies an uncomfortable neighbour that constantly pushes back against its dominance. When these two sides meet, Madrid comes alive, divided in passion, pride, and colour. It’s one of Spain’s most electrifying derbies. If your heart leans more towards David than Goliath, you’ll probably find yourself cheering for Atlético de Madrid. Known affectionately as 'El Atleti', the club offers an impressive museum and stadium tour located within the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano, their proud home ground. You will be guided, in both English and Spanish, through the club’s trophy hall, the stadium itself, and a range of interactive exhibits that bring Atleti’s story to life. Before you leave, stop by the official shop to pick up a jersey or souvenir.
