No, it doesn\u2019t. This beach is not placed physically in Madrid. But it\u2019s fixed in most \u201cmadrile\u00f1os\u201d minds.<\/p>\n
July and August are the months in which most people in Madrid enjoy their summer holidays. The city also prepares for the season and reflects it in its own way: on the one hand, the rhythm relaxes, the traffic improves because there are no schools and because many \u201cmadrile\u00f1os\u201d exit, on the other hand, the beach and summer decor invite us to set our mood.
\u2014It\u2019s a time to be on the move, of comings and goings \u2014says Paloma, excited.
\u2014Yeah! Some people is preparing the trip \u2014adds Almudena, thinking about whether she\u2019ll finally be able to pack this summer without forgetting anything.
\u2014And some just arrived and enjoy telling their experience.
\u2014That\u2019s how we discovered the paradox of summer in Madrid: everyone wants to spend as much time out of the city as possible but, at the same time, they love the peaceful city in August.
\u2014Hence the saying “Madrid in August, Baden-Baden”.<\/p>\n
In addition to those who leave the city, there are those who move during these months to “la sierra” (towns and condos on the outskirts of Madrid with a much more pleasant climate). Some conmute to Madrid every day, while others only spend the weekends up there.<\/p>\n
They go to the terraces<\/a>. Just Google “Terrazas Madrid 2024” and you\u2019ll get thousands of results. They’re a summer classic. They also go to the pool. Municipal swimming pools<\/a> are open to the public from mid-May to mid-September. Other pools are those of Canal de Isabel II<\/a>, in the heart of Chamber\u00ed, Real Canoe Swimming Club<\/a> (in the Retiro area). Puerta de Hierro<\/a> (located on the west exit of Madrid towards the A-6 and El Pardo). We can’t forget Playa Madrid Rio<\/a>, which although not a place to swim, it does help to relieve the heat of summer. And, of course, there are numerous private swimming pools in hotels<\/a> or clubs with public access.<\/p>\n \u2014Also, on a different, more cultural plan, there is \u201cLos veranos de la Villa”<\/a>. It\u2019s organized by the Madrid City Council with musical activities, theatre, dance, etc. Surprisingly, and to conclude, our favorite “activity” is to talk about heat. That it gets hot, is a fact. Especially during “heat waves”, days when it\u2019s better not to step on the street at the risk of melting and becoming part of the Madrid asphalt and, above all, nights when surviving without A\/A is difficult. And yes, there are waves every year.<\/p>\n If you plan to move to Madrid shortly, either in summer or winter, in The secret of relocating to Madrid<\/em><\/a> you\u2019ll find all the relevant information on how to get a home, all the information on schools and how to process the necessary formalities to complete your transfer. If, in addition, you need help with the organization or, even if you want us to accompany you, check out our services<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the meantime, you can receive regular information by filling out this questionnaire. And if you find it useful, we appreciate your sharing.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\u2014There are all kind of terraces \u2014explains Palo.
\u2014Terraces in restaurants: street, \u201dindoor” garden terraces or in rooftops overlooking the skyline \u2014the exhaustive list of Almu begins.
\u2014In bars and pubs, some are open all year round and others are open specifically for the summer.
\u2014Even the museums offer their own.
\u2014It\u2019s the ideal place to catch up with friends you haven’t been able to see during the year.<\/p>\n
\u2014In addition, almost all the cultural and leisure spaces have a summer offer.
\u2014Like \u201cBandas al fresco”<\/a> at Retiro Park (Concerts by the Madrid Symphony Orchestra).
\u2014And \u201cCine de Verano”<\/a>.<\/p>\n
