Things To Do
Torrelodones
Torrelodones is a charming mountain town just outside Madrid, the place where the rehearsal dinner will be held and the town where the bride grew up. At the heart of town, Plaza de la Constitución on Calle Real is just a 12-minute walk from the hotel. Stopping here for a drink and a tapa is one of the most quintessential, authentic Spanish experiences.
Gran Via
Madrid’s Gran Vía is the city’s most iconic boulevard, full of historic theaters, grand architecture, and nonstop energy. Just nearby, head up to the top-floor bar at El Corte Inglés (Callao) for sweeping views over the plaza. It’s the perfect spot to sip a drink, take in the skyline, and soak up Madrid from above. 🥂
El Retiro Park
El Retiro Park is Madrid’s green heart, a beautiful oasis of tree-lined paths, fountains, and historic landmarks. Stroll past the Crystal Palace, rent a rowboat on the lake, or relax in the shade. It’s the perfect escape from the city’s buzz and a must-see for soaking in Madrid at a slower pace.
Museo Nacional del Prado
The Prado Museum is one of the world’s great art museums, home to masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, and El Greco. Its elegant galleries offer a deep dive into Spain’s artistic and royal history. A visit here is a true Madrid classic and an unforgettable cultural highlight.
