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.

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.
