Landing Madrid
Discover Madrid, Mahou in hand
In Madrid, a caña is a perfectly poured beer, with its foam completely aligned with the rim of the glass waiting for a first sip. It's an experience that goes beyond taste.
It's what makes us step outside, spend time with friends, and let Madrid happen.

each one ending with a cold sip of Mahou.
The Bermuda Triangle of art
Barrio de las letras
Lose yourself in the art that defines Madrid: the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen.
If you take the Madrid Metro, you’ll find a stop called Estación del Arte. It's not a coincidence. Around it are some of Madrid’s biggest museums.
Contemporary, modern or historical art, you can be impressed by all kinds of works and savour their nuances between sips of Mahou on a nearby terrace.
Anyone arriving at these neo-Mudéjar buildings, used today for exhibitions, events and concerts, would never guess they once served as a livestock slaughterhouse.
But that’s Madrid: a city where the past is transformed into something better. Today, after wandering through Matadero, all that’s left is to sit back and enjoy everything around you, Mahou in hand.
Chamberí Ghost Station
Chamberí
This abandoned site is open to anyone with a thirst for spine-tingling stories.
Beneath Madrid’s streets lies a hidden museum in a ghost station. Trains rush past while stories of the Civil War and the supernatural fill the platform. Chamberí is the place for those in search of a little mystery.
Back up on the surface, the best way to return to Madrid life is with a Mahou.
La Metralleta Vinyl Gallery
Malasaña
An underground gateway to Madrid’s epicentre of musical debate.
Music lovers, vintage hunters and fans of the underground will find exactly what they’re after by heading down the stairs and stumbling upon this hidden vinyl shop.
The debate is hotting up, so it calls for a perfectly chilled Mahou to cool things down.
A visitor could spend a few days in Madrid without ever noticing this architecturally significant building. Built during the boom of Basque pelota, a traditional sport from the Basque Country, it has stood the test of time and remains one of the most beautiful spots in the city.
One of those places that leaves you speechless. One of those places you can only really take in over the foam of a Mahou.
La Paz Market
Salamanca
A true Madrid classic, where market stalls, tapas counters and local life come together — the perfect place to taste the city, Mahou in hand.
Madrid’s flavour can also be found among traditional market stalls, lively counters full of conversation, and locals who shop like they’re keeping a tradition alive.
In the heart of the Salamanca district, Mercado de La Paz is one of those timeless spots where you can take the city in slowly: a tapa here, a recommendation there, and—just as every good plan requires—a perfectly chilled Mahou to go with it.
A place where colour, museums and out-of-the-way shops— not to mention the sheer number of bars—all blend into one.
If you ask a Madrileño what their typical Saturday plan is, they’ll tell you without hesitation: “Having a Mahou in Malasaña”. And at night? “Having a Mahou in Malasaña”.
Nothing says Madrid quite like a beer in this neighbourhood.
There’s no plan locals enjoy more than hopping off at La Latina on a Sunday and making their way down Ribera de Curtidores in search of something unique.
The sun, the crowds and the variety of shops create the perfect setting for hours of wandering. And afterwards, all that’s left is to find a terrace and cool off with a perfectly chilled Mahou.
Right in the heart of the Santiago Bernabéu, Plaza Mahou is the perfect place to watch the home of Real Madrid, where stars score goals; and win matches. A space where football passion and beer culture share the spotlight.
What’s more, every pint is brewed right inside the stadium, thanks to a small on-site brewery—the first ever installed in a football stadium in Spain.
El Retiro
Salamanca
Madrid’s most iconic park, home to a fallen angel statue, a large lake and plenty of runners.
There are other parks worth visiting in Madrid, but none quite like El Retiro. At every step, a sculpture, building or floral display invites you to stop and take it in. That’s why people say you could spend the whole day wandering its paths and still not see it all.
When you leave, it’s time to catch your breath the Madrid way: a beer on a terrace table outside a bar.
Famous as a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride, and bursting with colour both in its façades and its Metro station, it’s also the neighbourhood to go hunting for vintage shops. On the shelves of these boutiques you’ll find retro pieces and unique garments from well-known brands.
A route that unfolds spontaneously, just like a Mahou in one of the many bars that paint the neighbourhood in colour.
It’s one of the most striking buildings in the very centre of the city. Kings, stories and secrets have all unfolded here, so it’s only natural to spend hours uncovering the mysteries hidden within its grand halls.
But the city’s greatest treasure isn’t kept here; rather, it lies in the art of a perfectly poured beer. Perfect for rounding off a visit to the palace.
