Magic fills the air when Christmas arrives in Madrid as twinkling lights, decorations, and breath-taking displays transform the city into an enchanting wonderland.

You’ll join one of our local Madrid hosts who can’t wait to share their city’s festive traditions with you - it’s all about family and food, two of our favorite things in life and we’re sure yours too!

You’ll explore the city as it’s draped in festive lights and roasted chestnut stands are popping up, seeing the most elaborate trees and Nativity scenes and indulging in some festive treats.

Try Christmas sweets like turrón, a type of nougat that comes in a dizzying array of flavors, polvorones, a kind of almond biscuit, and sip on a glass of Cava or two - it’s Christmas and you’re on holiday, after all!

Your host will share with you the beloved local traditions with you, like eating good-luck grapes on New Year’s Eve and Día de los Reyes Magos, and Three Kings Day. Whether you’d like to shop for gifts to take home in the Christmas markets or savor the festive atmosphere, your host is here to make it happen!
