Cultural Short Breaks With Madrid Hotels
Spain’s dazzling capital is host to some fantastic sights, great cuisine and some great activities to try your hand at. Madrid hotels provide the perfect starting point to explore the city, with the international opera house, numerous cinemas and theatres catering for all tastes.
If you wan’t to experience some fantastic Opera music, there is no better place than the Teatro Real on the Plaza de Oriente. Home to the Madrid Symphony Orchestra, as well as welcoming some of Europe’s best classical acts, it is the premier music venue in Madrid. It is an interesting fact that it was only opened as an opera house in 1997, having spent 150 years as a dance hall.
Why not try some Flamenco dancing at Escuela de Danza Amelia Vega, Escuela de Danza Pilar Beltran, or the Asociacion Cultural Flamenca Carmen Amaya. Head to the North Madrid area of Andalusi for traditional dishes, tapas and wine accompanied by a dance show. The Café de Chinitas is one of the restaurants with the most mythic Flamenco shows in Madrid, while Casa Patas is known to have one of the best Flamenco shows in Madrid, as well as a great selection of traditional food.

At the start of each season you will find a new festival. The Entierro de la Sardina (Burial of the Sardine) is one of the biggest events in Spring time and coincides with the traditional masked ball. Throughout the summer, the Veranos de la Villa (Summer in the City) festival runs to compliment the season of theatre, ballet, flamenco and music. In autumn (October to November), the Festival de Ontono hosts films, concerts and theatre shows. With all this going on, you better be sure to book one of the many Madrid hotels available.
