If you’re staying in Madrid over a weekend, the El Rastro flea market runs every Sunday and offers an incredible vibe, even if you choose not to buy anything from the stalls. Dozens of vendors turn up selling a jumble of goodies from vinyl to jewellery, and if you’re a vintage lover, you’ll no doubt fall upon a bargain or two.

Sigthseeing in the City
As with any city break, it’d be a shame not to make time to tick off the major sights. Madrid is choc-a-block with monuments, landmarks and architectural highlights to see, so why not make a day of it? Take a sunset stroll to Puerta de Alcala and be sure to stop by the Royal Palace and the Catedral de la Almudena.
Casa de Campo Park
With weather this good, make your way to the beautful Casa de Campo park. Crowned as Madrid’s biggest park this picturesque piece of land is a whopping five times larger than Central Park and you’ll find Madrid Zoo, Madrid Arena and sports facilities amongst its luscious landscaped gardens. You can ever hire boats on its lake.
Watch Real Madrid Play
Visiting Madrid? Flock to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and settle for an afternoon watching the mighty Real Madrid in action if you're lucky enough to get tickets in season. If not, there is always the fantastic stadium tour to enjoy. It's advisable to book tickets to the tour in advance online.
