About this event
The middle festival of Madrid's August trilogy, held in Lavapiés — the city's most mixed and most stubbornly local quarter. Plaza Arturo Barea becomes an open-air dance floor for chotis and pasodoble, with live bands, children's shows, card tournaments and tapas routes running alongside the processions that leave from the church of San Lorenzo.
Why we picked it
A neighbourhood verbena with none of the tourist gloss — free, walkable from the centre and a genuinely local night out.
Free entry
