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 28TH
This Friday, Infierno Club, the party curated by the La Vendición collective, Yung Beef’s record label, takes over La Discoteca to celebrate the birthday of Chilean rapper Pablo Chill-E and the release of Traumatismo Kraneoencefalico 2.
The line up is secret so you’ll have to grab a pass (here) to find out. Also on the night will be pole dancers @tyitshustler and @jade.deliparrish, and there will be a series of special live shows that will resonate across the capital.
SATURDAY 29TH
Good eating and drinking is now practised par excellence at El Buen, the trendy new spot in the Salamanca neighbourhood that presents a renewed and alternative concept to an increasingly uniform culinary scene. This modern tasca, run by Bizkaia-born Ángel Zalduegui and Borja Conde, serves Basque delicacies such as Basque cake, txakolis and different pintxos and gildas. Apart from the classics, their croquettes with ham and their txistorra and green pepper pepito are also a must. Where can you find it? In C/ de los Hermanos Bécquer, 5, 28006.
In the afternoon, we will visit the new Moët & Chandon x Pharell Williams pop-up at Galeria Canalejas. There we can discover the new ‘Brut Impérial’ collection designed by the visionary with which to toast and celebrate with a champagne. The space offers a packaging service with coloured ribbons and the possibility of personalising the bottles dressed in dark blue, gold and blood red with white pearl stitching.
The experience also includes a photobooth to immortalise the moment, where you can take snapshots that can be designed to complete the perfect gift. Two pieces will be available for purchase: the Brut Impérial magnum (€650) and Nectar Impérial Rosé (€700) in 1.5L magnum format.
SUNDAY 30
On Sunday we’ll be following MANIFESTO 13 to the letter. The restaurant, headed by brothers Nicholas Duncan and Mark Duncan, is noted for its elevated reinterpretation of traditional Italian cuisine, with a contemporary twist that has appealed to everything from pasta purists to new generations attracted by the culinary aesthetic.
The menu includes current hits such as anchovy toast with butter, veal tartar with oyster emulsion or scallops with parmigiano parmigiano tiger’s milk and basil. All of this is made with a great product to be appreciated.
In the evening we will enjoy the spirited and musical mixes of House & Jazz at Fluid Bar. From 5.30pm to 10pm we’ll be able to dance and connect with the experience of DLyon and Theory, who will be playing elegant sets to flow between the sounds of jazz house, deep house, funky house and groovy house, in confluence with other styles such as disco, soulful or downtempo.
