It’s hard to come up with just five reasons to visit Madrid on the last weekend of June. The capital has so many plans to offer that it is difficult to keep five, but we will try and try.

Flea market and sandwich in Plaza Mayor

Every Sunday the capital hosts the Madrid flea market on Ribera de Curtidores street. This heterogeneous street market is located right in the centre, 10 minutes from Puerta del Sol, where many merchants set up their stalls with all kinds of goods, such as second-hand goods. Also, on the same street, there are a wide variety of specialty stores, from handmade furniture, photographs, antiques, antiques, bookstores, hardware stores to hardware stores… And after you’re done shopping, what better plan than walking? and want to enjoy a calamari sandwich?

roof tops

New York fashion has invaded the capital. Numerous cafes and restaurants have been placed on the roofs of important buildings to view Madrid from above. Now yes, from Madrid to heaven. Some of the most important are the Roof of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, The Principal, the terrace of Hotel Óscar, the Picalagartos Sky Bar or the 360º Rooftop Bar, all with impressive views.

Prince Royce concert

On June 24, one of the most anticipated concerts of Latin music takes place in Madrid: Prince Royce. Heir to Juan Luis Guerra and contemporary of J Balvin or Bad Bunny, his way of modulating bachata and radically modernizing it elevated him to noble positions in Caribbean-born music. If they’re in Madrid that weekend They have an appointment with Prince Royce at 10:15 PM at the Botanical Garden..

The route passing through the most important museums of the capital

Madrid has some of the most important museums in the world. The Prado Museum is one of the best known for housing works by painters like Goya, Velázquez or Del Bosco. But we can also find the Reina Sofia Museum, which has a large collection of contemporary Spanish art such as Guernica or Thyssen-Bornemisza and houses about 1000 works purchased by the State from the Thyssen-Bornemisza family. But in addition to these three, you can find others such as the National Archaeological Museum, Cerralbo Museum, Maritime Museum, Sorolla Museum or Romance Museum, among others.

sunset in the capital

We know there are some of the best sunsets on the beach, but we can also find the most spectacular ocher and golden skies in the capital. The Temple of Debod is dedicated to the God Amón, located near Plaza España. From here you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets (and one of the best known) in Madrid. But the city hides more corners: the viewpoint of the Cornisa in the Royal Palace, the Moncloa Lighthouse, Madrid Río, El Retiro or Cerro del Río Pío in Vallecas and others.
