"La Feria del Libro": The Madrid Book Fair in the Retiro Park


We hope that the trip to Andalusia has been a success. Today we bring you new ideas to enjoy Madrid.

From May 26 to June 11, the Book Fair is held in the Parque del Retiro in Madrid. Of the many gates that the Retiro has, the best for this Fair is the Puerta de Madrid (Paseo de Fernán Núñez 28; Príncipe de Vergara metro, line 2 and 9, and Retiro, line 2).

The first Madrid Book Fair was organized in 1933 as part of the Cervantine week events. Those first booths were installed on Paseo de Recoletos.

At the Fair, you will be able to find out about the latest novelties in literature, buy some books, and even get their authors to sign them for you.

In the Eugenio Trías Library, inside the park (https://goo.gl/maps/yZRsr3incgFYbofF6?coh=178572&entry=tt ), we can carry out complementary activities to the Fair (https://ferialibromadrid.com/actividades-2023/)

Next week, more ideas!

Welcome to Madrid!

Hello! With this post we welcome the students of the summer of 2023 to AU Madrid. In this blog we will give you ideas to enjoy Madrid to the fullest, a city that is always alive.

For starters, big music events as a last minute suggestion for today (but you can get tickets for other days):

For those who love big shows: The WAH Madrid. "The greatest show on earth is coming to Madrid, with an immersive musical and gastronomic experience that mixes the best of Las Vegas and Broadway with the greatest hits in the history of music. After the show, stay at the venue for an awesome party in a spectacular club".  More details and tickets




And for those who prefer something quieter: "During spring and summer nights, the Royal Botanical Garden opens its doors to offer a unique experience in Madrid. The Musical Walks of the Royal Botanical Garden combine the beauty of nature with classical music, creating a magical atmosphere thanks to a selection of musicians from the prestigious Reina Sofía School of Music. You will be able to enjoy different musical stops and listen to works inspired by nature from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which will take you on a magical journey through time. Immerse yourself in a unique world of sounds and sensations under the moonlight, one of the most special natural environments in Madrid". More details and tickets

Soon, more suggestions!!!!
