‘ Enjoy the cherished Christmas traditions of this historic capital city’
Christmas in Madrid
SPAIN
Madrid is a city that cherishes and adores Christmas traditions and festivities. In early December the city is transformed into a spectacle of lights, colours and activities. The main streets and squares are festooned with thousands of lights and Christmas decorations. A spectacular route runs from El Retiro through Gran Via to Puerta del Sol. Catch sight of the giant illuminated bauble with 43,000 lights. Christmas markets can be found in the Plaza Mayor for traditional gifts and in the Paseo de Recoletos for design-led alternatives. Stay at the Hospes Puerta de Alcala near the Calle de Serrano shopping street and with the Retiro Park on the opposite side of the square. Housed in an elegant 19th century residence, the hotel has restaurant, bar, fitness area, spa and indoor relaxation pool. Throughout the festive season you are welcomed at the hotel with traditional Spanish churros, hot chocolate and mulled wine.
NOTES The hotel has a special Christmas menu for dinner on 24 December consisting of three courses, a welcome drink and wine selection. This is included in the price we offer. We suggest a 4-night break from 23 to 27 December but other dates may work too.
SAMPLE PRICES From about £ 2,060 including economy flights to Madrid, private transfers and bed and breakfast in a Dreamer double room for 4 nights.
