Why Madrid
Grandeur and warmth
Madrid has the formality of a capital and the warmth of a Mediterranean city. Palaces, gardens and plazas alternate with colourful lanes.
The light is bright almost all year, and the old town offers beautiful corners at every step.
Ideal for an after wedding, a pre-wedding, an elopement or an anniversary trip.

Before you travel
Seasons, timing and what to wear
When to come
Spring and autumn are mild. Summer middays are very hot, so we start very early.
The time that matters
In the morning the plazas are quieter. In the afternoon the lanes catch the warmest light.
Styling
Classic lines suit the palaces. Comfortable shoes for the paving and a light jacket for spring mornings.
