what’s on
The next seven days in Madrid.
A short, hand-kept list — not a full calendar. We don’t try to list every gig and pop-up; we list the ones worth rearranging your week for. Updated daily.
A quieter week in Madrid.
Nothing on our editor’s shortlist for the next seven days — we list events the way we list walks, with one ear to the ground rather than a firehose. We’ll be back with picks soon. Meanwhile, the city is still walkable: here are four routes that read well any day of the week.

Four walks for an empty week.
Arganzuela and the Delicias: the railway-museum quarter
A grand iron train shed turned museum, the working-industrial streets, and the river edge below.
AZCA and the Cuatro Torres: Madrid goes vertical
The Bernabéu, the AZCA towers, and the four skyscrapers that gave Madrid a skyline at last.
Barrio de las Letras: the literary quarter
Verses set into the pavement, the streets of Cervantes and Lope de Vega, and the old cafés.
Barrio de Salamanca: the elegant grid
The 19th-century grid Madrid built for money — luxury Serrano, the galleries, the Lázaro Galdiano.
