The 7 Best Concerts & Shows in Barrio de Salamanca, Community of Madrid
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

There are a couple of design exhibitions at the moment as part of the Madrid design festival. One focuses on a contemporary designer, Patricia Urquiola who has produced some lovely work although with overcomplicated explanations and another exhibition looks at 100 objects and how their design has evolved to make them more user friendly, more beautiful, smaller...There is a further room full of, 'astral objects' There is some explanation in English which is helpful. Very interesting overall and free.

William Morris was one of the prime leaders of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England and the Juan March Museum had many of his designs in fabrics, wallpapers, and furniture. This is one of the best exhibitions that I have seen in this museum.

Why not, go to a play when you’re in Madrid. Great production, but it was a bit long, with the break almost 3 hours and I was falling asleep.

The staff was very friendly and the food was reasonably priced! I had floor seats and was able to see the concert. Public transportation takes you right to the venue.
