Stag Weekends in Madrid

Where they love the bottle of Becks

A Madrid stag weekend gives you a city that's always on the move - a bustling, hypnotic hybrid of sound, rich aroma and style. It has a pulse that never weakens, an intriguing identity of many layers and a populace that is almost bursting with energy and confidence. Ernest Hemingway referred to it as "the capital of the world” and there are more than enough parties and points of interest to see what he meant. Where else would you find such a fabulous collection of public parks, museums and tapas-friendly eateries, all within easy distance of a cool beer and a dazzlingly pretty woman or three?

This is a city which actually has a statue - El Angel Caido - of the main man downstairs (El Diablo). Now, you know you're somewhere interesting when there's a statue of the devil in the town centre! So, whether you choose to taste the cool café life, support your local bull or just shake your maracas in a deliciously dirty club, this is one place you won't want to miss a second of during your big stag weekend away. Si Senor, Madrid definitely left every one of this team feeling mighty real.

Madrid Information

Madrid is one of the world's liveliest cities, a city that never sleeps – in fact, the Spanish would say it has "mucha marcha". During weekends or before public holidays, and also on the days running up to Christmas, it is not unusual to see more people out and about at 4, 5 or 6 in the morning than in many other cities during the day! Coincidence or not, it can hardly come as a surprise to learn that “Madrileños” (locals) are known locally as "gatos" (cats).

If there's one thing that makes your tapas taste better it's a drop of cava; and if there's one thing that adds to the cava then it's the backdrop of a magnificent cathedral and buzzing city square. If there's anything to bring out the best in such a buzzing city square then it's the variance of buskers and impromptu music vying for your ear; if treating those ears can possibly be improved upon then it is only with a visit to a choice of late night entertainment venues, such as a nightclub, strip bar or live music performance.

Plan your stag weekend in Madrid carefully to ensure that each of the boys have a capital time in Spain’s HQ of threads, clubs and cuisine.
