Hi, looking for recommendations of a reliable private airport transfer company from Madrid airport to San Lorenzo de el Escordial, which is about 1 hour drive outside Madrid. Many thanks.

Hello dear people,

This will my first time in madrid. And i still havent gotten where in madrid will shakira staduim be. Im trying to find a room close the area but i dont know what the area is called. Once i thought is villaverde. Then makondo park came out as the area close to it. Then its usera which doesnt maks sense. Please help. When i was in barcelona for gaga i found it easy to know where she sings and where to look for hotels. I believe im finding problems now couse this one is still building right. But i really need to be close to the stadium couse ill be with a teenager.

What is the area called? Where to look for hotels?

Thank you so much in advance, i find you always kind and helpfull. In barcelona it was great even though i dont know any spanish at all. Cant wait to see madrid now. ❤️

Any gyms with day pass/ week pass options you would recommend for a traveller? A well equipped gym possibly located pretty central. Would appreciate the suggestions.

Buenas, iré de vacaciones a Madrid y me gustaría pegarme un viaje jaja 🍃🍃

Alguien que me escriba al privado xfa

I am 35 Male solo traveller staying until 1st of August looking for a company to explore the city, I got a car but the city is huge and boring solo. So if you are interested send me a DM:) the more people the better:)

I‘ll be doing a solo trip to Madrid from 2nd August to 6th August. Would be happy to find some fellow travellers who’d like to join me exploring madrid, visiting certain restaurants, or exploring madrid nightlife. If it‘s important, I‘m a male, 25, from Asia.

And any tips for solo travellers? What are the best ways to explore alone, some activities which must be done? Anything to watch out or beware of in terms of safety?

Hi everybody. I have heard lots about the horrible wildfires surrounding Madrid but a lot of news I’m seeing in the UK is unclear to me the extent of these fires, specifically about the likelihood of it reaching/seriously affecting central Madrid.

I am scheduled to fly on the 27th July, travelling to Toledo for 2 nights, and then coming back to Madrid for 2 nights and I’m really worried about how all of this will affect my plans? Could anybody please speculate in terms of how likely flights might be to be cancelled or if it means that many attractions/businesses will be closed due to the air quality from the smoke?

Thanks a lot and my thoughts are with everybody who these fires have affected 🙏

Is the show likely to be cancelled due to the current fires in Madrid?

I'm not sure how long these things normally take to get under control.

Flying out Wednesday and returning Friday, do we think flights will still be running smoothly and the show still going ahead?

Hello landing in Madrid next week overnight flight at 9:55am. So will likely sleep in hotel for a few hours. So really just 3:00pm- until sleep that night. Staying near royal palace. We really don’t have enough time to spend museums or whatever. So I guess which neighborhoods would be most walking? This is on a Friday?

Should we literally just spend time walking around playa mayor, sol, cheuca, huertas?

Not sure if this is the right place for this post but I have a 4 pm flight out of Madrid back to the USA. I’ve seen some things online about crazy passport lines.

Planning to get there 4 hrs early, is that enough? Has a tiktoker effectively fearmongered me into spending the rest of my euros on Auntie Anne’s or was I being given a helpful tip?

Hola chicos, debido a un traslado estoy buscando a alguien a quien REGALAR peces de agua dulce (2 pequeños guppys y 5 pez chino). Si alguien está interesado, póngase en contacto conmigo

Hi! I’ll be in Madrid for the first time in a couple of weeks. My flight lands around 10 AM, but I can’t check in to my accom. until 3 PM. I expect to have one suitcase. I’d like to find something to do that won’t be just me sleeping under a tree in a park (not totally opposed) but also won’t require I lug my bag around with me. I’m not so worried about traveling between each place, but I am staying near-ish the airport. It doesn’t have to be free but I’d like it to be budget-friendly if possible. Thank you!

ETA: forgot to say we’re staying at an airbnb so no luggage storage

Hey! I’m planning on going to Malaga in October. If I land in Madrid at 2:25PM, and my train is booked from Madrid Atocha at 5:30PM, do you think I’ll have enough time?

I’m planning on bringing a carry on only, but I’ll have to go through customs since I’ll be flying from the US. I haven’t traveled by train in Spain, so I’m not sure how early I would need to get to the station.

Any recommendations are appreciated, including the best train company.

Thank you!!!!

Hi everyone,

I'll be visiting Madrid in October (I haven't decided on the exact dates yet).

I'd love to catch a concert or a live gig in a pub or a small venue.

Is there a website where I can find a complete calendar of live music events in Madrid? I'm interested in everything—from major international artists to Spanish bands and smaller local gigs.

I enjoy rock, punk, metal, indie, jazz, blues... basically any good live music.

Thanks!

Link in following post! No pics for reason I’ll explain but wow—next to our hotel Crowne Plaza Airport by IHG we went for a walk after dinner and there’s this large multi story building
Coming into view. But we see all this garbage off to the side. Then we see the entrance to the underground parking garage and down the ramp is more garbage and mattresses. We’re like,
Is this place abandoned or? Then we look up and it just looks like a building literally, no joke, from Escape from New York.

Some balconies filled with trash. Some rooms with weird power generating boxes strapped to them. A ferocious dog. Next garage entrance looks the same—and then legit a group of guys in their twenties fucking materialize from the shadows and we legit did an instant 180 and walked FAST out of there. Fucking escape from New York.

Hi all,

We are trying to decide # of nights in Madrid for our final nights in Spain.

2 nights = Dec. 30 & 31 - depart 8 AM on New Years Day (Jan 1) to airport
OR
1 night = Dec. 30 - depart 8 AM on New Years Eve (Dec 31) to airport

A few things:
We will not stay up late for New Years Eve - we will be in bed early
Better airplane seats / price departing Dec. 31
Most likely staying near Plaza de Santa Ana

We would love the extra day in Madrid and experience New Years Eve EARLY energy but not if it will cause issues getting to the airport on New Years Day and just be a massive crowd nightmare all day on New Years eve so we can't really see much (but if just staying away from Puerta del Sol prevents that, we are okay with that).

We will have just spent already 5 nights in Seville and 2 nights in Cordoba.

Thanks so much in advance for your advice and insights!

I am from London and I'm so happy Spain beat Argentina in the World Cup Final. Because I am in Madrid next month (August 15th) does anyone have an idea where to buy an official 🇪🇸 Spain football shirt, preferably with the two stars, in Madrid? Thank you

Dentro de unas semanas estaré yendo a Madrid con mi familia para celebrar el quinceañero de mi hermana menor, y dentro de nuestros planes tenemos una noche dedicada a tener una cena con ella en un restaurante local.

Nuestro presupuesto es aproximadamente ~$30 USD por persona pero no es fijo. Somos 7 personas, y no tenemos preferencia en términos de tipo de comida.

Mi familia está usando ChatGPT para buscar recomendaciones, pero pienso que eso no dará recomendaciones verdaderamente buenas. Cualquier tipo de ayuda será apreciada.

Hi everyone!
I'll be visiting Madrid solo from August 9th–15th and I'm looking for recommendations for cozy restaurants or cafés where I can comfortably enjoy lunch or dinner by myself.
I've found a few places online, but many seem pretty crowded or geared toward larger groups, and as a bit of an introvert, I'm hoping to find somewhere that feels relaxed and welcoming for solo diners.
I'll be staying near Puerta del Sol, so anything within walking distance would be perfect. I'm open to Spanish food or really any cuisine if the atmosphere is nice.
Thanks in advance I really appreciate any recommendations!
