CHRISTMAS PLANS IN MADRID

While enchanting Christmas markets pop up all over Madrid, the Plaza Mayor Christmas Market is particularly iconic. Here, you can stroll through rows of beautifully adorned stalls that sells everything from handcrafted ornaments to traditional Spanish sweets. It's an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to experience a classic European Christmas market.

Madrid transforms some of landmark squares into ice skating rinks during the winter. Matadero Madrid, the Galería de Cristal at Palacio de Cibeles and Plaza de Colón become hotspots for locals and tourists alike looking to enjoy a fun-filled day of skating under the lights.

Christmas in Madrid wouldn't be complete without admiring the stunning light displays that adorn the city streets. From Gran Via to Puerta del Sol, the vibrant Christmas lights in Madrid transform the city into a glowing spectacle of festive delight. 

Christmas in Madrid is filled with delightful culinary traditions. Indulge in seasonal specialties such as turrón (nougat), polvorones (almond cookies), and the iconic Roscón de Reyes (King's Cake). Many restaurants offer special holiday menus, blending festive flavors with the warmth of Spanish hospitality.

Check out the Christmas menus at Restaurante El Albéniz, available on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as well as New Year’s Eve and Reyes. These festive menus are designed to make you taste Madrid and traditional Spanish cuisine in every bite.

Dive into the cultural heart of Madrid's Christmas celebrations by attending a live music show or theater play. The city's theaters and concert venues come alive with performances that capture the spirit of the season.
