In the center of the Plateau there is a city without a beach where the wind and breeze always forget to blow, and with the amazing capacity, with little effort, to reach 40 degrees on any given summer day. Although it may seem incredible, several million people spend the hottest months of the year here, many of them for fun. The reason? The most varied, extraordinary, interesting and fun cultural offer on this side of the Carpathians. There is no beach in Madrid, but with Club Vanguardia offers and discounts to express your cultural side, you don't even need it.
Get ready because thanks to Club Vanguardia you will be able to enjoy two of the best art galleries in the world. On the same street, Velázquez and Goya coexist with Monet and Van Gogh... not even in the best neighborhoods of Hollywood are there so many stars together.
Prado Museum. In its beginnings it was called the Royal Museum of Paintings or the National Museum of Painting and Sculpture, but the residents of the town knew it as the Museo del Prado because it was located in the Prado de los Jerónimos, so in 1920 a decree law baptized it with the name by which we all know him. 1,150 works exhibited in its rooms and more than 8,000 kept in its deposits. Velázquez, Goya, Rubens, El Bosco, Titian, Murillo, Rubens... the largest and most important collection of pre-avant-garde works in the world await you on its walls, and thanks to Club Vanguardia you can enjoy this authentic wonder with 12% discount on admission every day. Essential.
Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. There are two reasons why one of the most important private art collections in the world ended up between the domains of Cibeles and Neptune. The first is Tita Cervera, Baroness Thyssen, and the second is its proximity to the Prado Museum, at the express wish of Baron Thyssen, the original owner of the collection. On its walls, away from the white color because the baroness wanted to provide a greater sensation of warmth, the great impressionists such as Monet, Degas, Van Gogh and Gauguin await you; an exceptional collection of Americans, such as Homer, O'Keeffe and Hopper, or modern art geniuses such as Kandinski, Pollock, Freud or Hockney. The Thyssen is always a great plan and with a 10% discount on your ticket every day thanks to Club Vanguardia this summer it becomes an unmissable plan.
Santiago Bernabeu. In its rooms we will not find a single work of pictorial art, but if we talk about ball artists and works of great comebacks, we are no longer in a museum but in a true temple. 14 European Cups, 8 Club World Cups, 5 European Super Cups, 35 Leagues, 20 Copas del Rey... And Di Stefano, and Cristiano, and Ronaldo, and Zidane, and Puskas, and Butragueño, and Raúl, and Juanito, and Santillana and Casillas, and Modric... If you like football it's a must, but if you're also from Madrid you need it more than breathing. Take advantage of the 10% discount on admission to Club Vanguardia and bring out all the meringue in you.
The key to enjoying everything that this city offers you under the summer haze is knowing how to recover your strength wrapped in the blessed air conditioning of its restaurants. A culinary offer for all budgets, from all over the world and, of course, with the best beers from the entire peninsula, which is why we are in Madrid.
Belbo Compliment. Madrid borders the Mediterranean Sea at the height of Plaza de Santa Ana. There we can enjoy the exceptional Belbo Piropo menu where rice dishes and skewers are the main stars. For luxurious side dishes we have the cod churros with romesco sauce, the lamb skewers or the grandmother's macaroni. But this is just a grain of sand on the incredible beach of its gastronomy. Take advantage of the Club Vanguardia offer with a 15% discount every day on its menu and drinks and enjoy Mediterranean life in the Huertas neighborhood.
alligator. From Madrid to heaven and just when you arrive, Picalagartos sets you a table, a tablecloth and incredible views of the Gran Vía. Located in one of the most emblematic buildings on the by itself emblematic street and with a name that refers to the literary translation and bohemia of this area of the city, Picalagartos was the tavern that Valle Inclán described in Luces de Bohemia, here you can savor a gastronomic offer where quality products, clean flavors and smoke are the protagonists. The Club Vanguardia puts at your disposal an exclusive menu for €35 while you enjoy one of the best views of the city.
Origins Gastronomic Festival. The inhabitants and visitors of the plateau live in summer not only from music festivals. On September 22 and 23, the Ortega-Marañón Foundation hosts a festival where the stars of the bill are great chefs
and producers, and the best songs will be the gastronomic shows (up to 12), the talks about the future
food and gastro workshops. Get ready to enjoy the most original festival of the season with a 20% discount on admission thanks to Club Vanguardia. Oh, there will also be music, of course.
A few years ago, musicals landed directly from the ports of London and New York, on the Gran Vía. Since then, the street that never sleeps has seen walking lions, apprentice dancers, ghosts, cats, and even Evita herself. Get ready because we're going musical.
The Musical of the 80s and 90s. La Movida del Bacalao is a bar about to open where a group of friends who shared high school classes 25 years ago now meet. Life has taken each of them through different places and routes, but there is something that continues to unite them and that will never disappear: music. Danza Invisible, Europe, Hombres G, Nacha Pop, Bon Jovi, Seguridad Social, Alaska and Dinarama o Mecano will make you get up from your chair to sing at the top of your lungs in this fun comedy at the EDP Gran Vía Theatre. Enjoy it with 30% discount on tickets thanks to Club Vanguardia.
'Aladdin, The Musical'. We have a genie, we have a lamp and of course, it's easy to put on one of the best musicals in all of history. More than 14 million people have already enjoyed the story of Aladdin in different parts of the world. Until September 3, this kingdom of a thousand and one nights will be at the Coliseum on Gran Vía. For our part, we made a wish to Club Vanguardia and they granted it to us, so now you can enjoy the magic and adventures with a 5% discount on your tickets.
