Just moved to Madrid? Pick your language: your first month step by step, and events you can go to on your own.
A free interpretive walk through the Quinta de Torre Arias, a historic estate turned public park in eastern Madrid: old trees, gardens and the story of the place, with a guide. Calm and easy to join on your own.
A free guided urban hike through the Tetuán de las Victorias district, starting from the Dehesa de la Villa environmental centre. Walk, discover the neighbourhood and talk with other walkers.
A free two-hour guided walk along the Paseo del Prado and the Retiro area — the UNESCO “Landscape of Light”: the Prado, the Jerónimos church, Neptune and Apollo fountains, the Bank of Spain, Cibeles and the Puerta de Alcalá, all seen from outside. An easy way to explore the city with other people.
A free guided visit to the San Fermín public library in Usera: its award-winning modern architecture, its spaces and its role as a meeting place for the neighbourhood. Small group (25 places) — easy to chat with the others along the way.
A free one-hour talk on how literary tertulias were born and worked in Madrid's legendary cafés — Gijón, Comercial, Levante, Fornos and Pombo. A nice start for anyone who likes conversation, books and city history.
A free concert by Argentine guitarist and composer Gabriel Szternsztejn and his quartet: jazz mixed with tango and Latin-American rhythms, acoustic sound and lots of improvisation.
A free evening recital for piano and voice in a neighbourhood garden: opera arias, zarzuela and classical songs in several languages, presented in a close, accessible way. A relaxed outdoor plan for the evening.
A free Sunday show by the company Música y Raíz: copla, rumba, pasodoble, sevillanas, rancheras, bulerías and flamenco — a lively introduction to Spanish folk music.
A free performance of a rarely staged comic zarzuela by Barbieri, by the company La Soubrette: humour, mix-ups and witty characters. A great first taste of Madrid's own operetta.
