Come NOW to Madrid for our trip of this season that lets you immerse yourself in one of the special events of Madrid.

Come Darkness, Come Light Design

From November 25, 2011 until January 6, 2012

Artistic Christmas-shopping or a modernistic New Year's Eve-celebration?! Since 2003 our mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón transforms the Dark Days by magic into an enlightened event: this year 3,8 million bulbs shine their light on the city during 230 hours.

What's new? This year more energy-efficient and LED light bulbs glow in the dark (=higher efficiency and sustainability). Like previous years fashion designers (like Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada), architects (like Ben Busche) and graphic artists signed for the design. We invite you on a luminous evening stroll from Plaza Mayor and Sol through Gran Vía and Hortaleza to Plaza de la Independencia and the Salamanca-barrio...

Dazzling guaranteed!

Cultural Agenda? Alternative Guide? Not exactly. Our challenge is simply to show you - travellers as well as locals - that Madrid has so much more to offer than just the beaten tourist track (running from the Royal Palace through Plaza Mayor to Retiro Park)...

This blog wants to share with you what you don't want to miss. Everything you need to know to discover Madrid the MAD way. Discover the hidden treasures, the off the beaten track spots and get to know the city from an insiders point of view...
