Madrid is a city full of the richest culture, deep tradition and vibrant street life

The Spanish capital is majestic and beautiful and offers a wide variety of activities from countless museums to wide open green spaces. Madrid is home to the Prado, the Reina Sofia and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the three most important art galleries in the whole of Spain, as well as the vast and imposing Royal Palace. Take time to enjoy the city’s huge open spaces, including the picturesque and central El Retiro park.

Concerts

We’d particularly recommend Madrid for choirs who perform a sacred repertoire.

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.
