From Tapas we compile the best plans with which to enjoy the weekend in Madrid, and relegate ourselves to hedonism between cultural and gastronomic experiences, parties, events and museums. Take the agenda and take note of our weekly proposal.

FRIDAY 22ND

In the middle of the rentrée season, we return to experience all the events that the capital presents. To relive mythical festivities such as Oktoberfest, which we will celebrate with Paulaner, tasting different popular recipes of Bavarian gastronomy such as German knuckle, mash, bretzel or sauerkraut, toasting with a beer, with live music and different DJ sets in the background in a space that takes us to the epicenter of the German party. Where? At the CaixaBank Príncipe Pío theater.

As night falls, a powerful cast of female artists will take the stage at WiZink Center at Spotify EQUAL FEST, which will feature shows by Nathy Peluso, Ptazeta, Natalia Lacunza, Judeline and Lola Indigo. There, we will be able to enjoy the concerts of these iconic figures that will shake up the national scene under the framework of Equal: a global initiative of the brand that aims to promote gender equality in the industry.

SATURDAY 23RD

On Saturday we will move one of the great openings of the season led by El Grupo Lalala: La Mamona Barra, which structures its new restaurant around an elegant and traditional bar.

At the tables of its design space surrounded by green upholstery, skylights and vegetation, they serve the sophistication of the national gastronomic culture that value tradition and product. A traditional menu in which we will opt for classic tapas revisited as the gilda, Russian salad with olive tapenade, jerky bikini, artichokes with egg yolk, truffle and foie gras or portions of Iberian ‘five jacks’.
