The itinerary.
3 days · 7 stops
Friday
Day One
Land, siesta through the heat, then Atlético's stadium turns into the After Hours til Dawn closing party
●
El Retiro Park
Madrid's great park at golden hour — the Crystal Palace, the boating lake and half the city on their evening paseo. Free, and coolest after 19:00 in August.
●
The Weeknd — After Hours til Dawn at the Metropolitano
Atlético Madrid's 70,000-seat bowl on the city's eastern edge. August Madrid means the show starts late and hits harder — Metro line 7 to Estadio Metropolitano, allow 40 minutes from the centre.

Day Two
The royal-Madrid classics by day, La Latina tapas crawl by night
●
Royal Palace of Madrid
Europe's largest functioning royal palace — 3,418 rooms of which you see a jaw-dropping two dozen. Book the first morning slot before the heat.
●
Mercado de San Miguel
The wrought-iron market by Plaza Mayor — stand-up oysters, jamón cones and vermút on tap. Touristy but earns it.
●
Cava Baja Tapas Crawl
La Latina's tapas artery — Casa Lucas for the tostas, Txakolina for Basque pintxos, La Perejila for the room itself. Start at 21:00 like a local.

One great museum before the airport — pick Prado or Reina Sofía and don't rush it

Velázquez's Las Meninas, Goya's black paintings, Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights — two hours minimum. Free entry the last two hours daily if the timing works.
●
Reina Sofía
The alternative: Picasso's Guernica in a room that silences everyone who walks in. Closed Tuesdays.
