From Tapas we have compiled the best plans with which to make the most of the weekend in Madrid, and to indulge in hedonism between cultural and gastronomic experiences, festivals, events and museums. Grab your diary and take note of our suggestions for the weekend.
FRIDAY 11TH
On Friday Love Yi will take to the stage of La Sala at Movistar Arena, and we will be there to sing all his songs in unison. The Madrid-born artist, one of the top names on the national urban scene, is currently on tour with his unmistakable sound and deep lyrics that he channels in new tracks like ‘LOVESTAR’. If you don’t want to miss the show, get your ticket here.
SATURDAY 12
On Saturday morning we’re going thrifting at a market that is DEMASIADO. In @ohmespacio, this emerging project that started in Barcelona with Cristina Len and Lis Moros, now moves to the capital to bring together a curated selection of vintage and secondhand brands such as MarineIndigo, Revoilá, Descaro SecondHand or CristinaLen, along with other experiences such as ValiumGem’s dental gems corner. Admission will be free from 12 to 20h. Don’t miss it.
At night we’ll go into the neon green room of Antídoto, which will feature a high-voltage line-up in the main room with Faisal + Otto Tiff + Diego Armando + Yosef. For those who prefer to alternate, or go directly to the second room, Candela X Favor + Maxvll + Diego Armando will be playing there. Get your ticket here.
SUNDAY 13
In the Salamanca neighbourhood, Flavia has just celebrated its tenth anniversary. A chic Italian restaurant with a cosmopolitan and elegant spirit that fuses tradition with innovation in its recipes. Its dishes trace an idyllic stroll along the Amalfi Coast, with a strong presence of pasta as one of its main attractions. This comes from Lazio, which is one of the regions of Italy where the origin of pasta is to be found and where the most tradition can be found.
Among its star recipes we can find its pasta bolognese with Wagyu beef, its pasta alla carbonara, its spaghetti alle Vongole, and its pasta Mezze Maniche alla Vodka. Where? In C/ de Gil de Santivañes, 2, 28001.
After the evening, we will take a visual delight in the new exhibition at Fundación MAPFRE. Under the title ‘1924. Otros surrealismos‘, the exhibition proposes a triple exploration: the critical fortune of the Manifesto in Spain, the repercussion in our country of the movement as a whole and the real role that women (with the figure of Gala Dalí at the centre) played in the group.
From this approach, the exhibition goes beyond the Spanish artists who were international protagonists of the movement, such as Dalí, Buñuel and Miró, to look at the numerous followers it had in Spain, generally less well known for various reasons and who in many cases, moreover, did not follow the surrealist canon dictated by Breton in Paris but generated their own readings. The recovery of these alternative discourses and these forgotten names of ‘surrealist’ artists from Spain and Latin America is one of the central themes of the exhibition, with the aforementioned emphasis on the great forgotten women of the movement: the Spanish and international women (Maruja Mallo, Remedios Varo, Grete Stern…), who appeared as a whole without a name in Breton’s Manifesto.
