There is so much going on at any moment in Madrid, that it is very hard to ever say that there is nothing to do in this city. And the best of the Spanish capital is that it has a unique mix of leisure and luxury activities, that is hard to find anywhere else.

Things to do while buying

Going shopping at the Golden Mile is a great activity on its own, and one that will keep you focused and busy for a good time. But you can always stop for a moment and do something else to get back to the luxury shopping.

You can visit one of the most iconic cafés in Madrid, Café Gijón, which is not only very old, but it is also well-known for being a place where artists, filmmakers and intellectuals have met to have lengthy conversations, and the place is just great.

If you prefer something different, the Golden Mile is surrounded by several places where you can get a drink, a cocktail, and of course, enjoy the most delicious and Spanish tapas in one of the many bars and restaurants available.

Also, did you know that Madrid loves terraces? There are so many of them all over the city, each one with a unique style. Some of them more relaxed and for the family, while others are very exclusive, with amazing pools and the most innovative cocktails, tapas and dishes.

Right now is one of the most exciting moments to visit Madrid. The Christmas lights are going to be inaugurated very soon, the many mercadillos de navidad will open up for the rest of the year, and the offer on theater, dance and live shows will be great.
