Our groups stay either in centrally-located youth hostels or 2 and 3 star hotels, also situated in the heart of Madrid, within easy reach of the many sites this city has to offer.
We’d particularly recommend Madrid for choirs who perform a sacred repertoire as there are many beautiful churches in the heart of the city where visiting choirs are warmly received. We particularly love the San Cayetano church where the priest draws in huge audiences, and was once a site for Royal concerts. For those groups who have a more informal repertoire, we can organise performances in schools, squares and shopping centres in the city.
