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 25TH
On Friday we will visit the first solo exhibition in Madrid of the artist Iñigo Sesma at the MXM gallery, the new naming of Causa Galería. Entitled ‘Dust Bowl’, the show brings together a series of paintings inspired by photographs taken during Sesma’s travels around the United States in recent years.
‘Iñigo Sesma transforms his travels through the United States into a process of visual and conceptual exploration, where photography and painting intertwine to recompose a reality charged with history, memory and resilience […] His gaze is directed to the margins, to those areas where precariousness and isolation weigh on the landscape. Disorderly neighbourhoods, caravans that disguise abandonment, structures in ruins: forgotten spaces that stand as vestiges of a better past. Along the way, he visits diners, those roadside restaurants where regular customers and passing travellers coexist on a daily basis, capturing the essence of a life suspended between rootedness and constant movement’.
In the evening we will go to celebrate 3 years of The Madrid EDITION at its club MISTICA with HoneyLuv, the international DJ and producer who is revolutionizing the electronic clubber scene, having played at some of the best venues and most important festivals of the scene such as Coachella, EDC, Brooklyn Mirage, Ushuaia, The Beams or Space Miami.
SATURDAY 26TH
On Saturday we will put on our best tenniscore look to go to the Minishop Open Tennis, which will play in its second edition in the courts of the Club Internacional de Tenis de Majadahonda. The Madrid reference shop and epicentre of trends will consolidate its role as a catalyst for meetings between disciplines such as tennis, culture, music and fashion.
The teams will include creative collectives, brands, record labels, media, cultural clubs and influential names on the current scene such as 25 Gramos, Bambino, Brain Dead, Club de Tenis Puerta del Ángel, Cupido, Crank, CUPRA City Garage Madrid, Dreamland, Ferrantes, FFEA, Habemus Roma, Highxtar, La Revuelta, Lesbian Garros, Little Late, Minishop, Pogo and Primavera Sound.
The event is not only about tennis. Bands such as Cupido, Taburete, Shangay Baby, Por Las Noches, Blood Orange, Diiv or Natalia Lacunza, who will represent the women’s tennis team in the championship, will also be on stage. International fashion brands such as Braindead and Market Studios will also be present, in an increasingly close connection between sport and fashion.
After the event, we’ll continue the party at Club Cadavra which presents its HOLLYWOOD session featuring Jossy Mitsu with his mixes of house, techno and other club beats, along with Paz Broody and Two Ex.
SUNDAY 27TH
Sunday brunch will take place at Llama Inn, one of NY’s most acclaimed contemporary Peruvian restaurants, which presents its Sunday brunch version. There we will enjoy this new ode to gastronomic creativity led by chef Luis Cornejo.
On their menu you can find snacks to whet your appetite, such as their oyster shrimp with tomato tiger’s milk, their varied anticuchos or delicious sanguchitos. There is also a choice of hot and cold dishes, such as a delicious ceviche or sanguchos de chicharrón with sweet potato, which can be combined with delicious eggs benedict with aji amarillo hollandaise sauce and pancetta. And of course, finish with a ‘happy ending’ such as their tres leches with Nutella and vanilla ice cream.
