A fantastic cultural accompaniment to a summer holiday in Madrid, the Veranos de la Villa Festival (Summer in the City Festival) offers daily shows encompassing theatre, puppetry, film, dance and art, taking place at various indoor and outdoor venues across the city with some performances costing very little or nothing. Check out some flamenco and jazz, watch live music in Retiro Park on Sundays or attend traditional bullfights at Plaza de Ventas. During the day most performances take place in concert halls and galleries but in the coolness of the evening entertainment moves to the streets, squares and parks of this magical city. Films are subtitled.

Venue: Various
