Madrid - Places

A secret spoken out loud: Matadero Madrid - The secret corner of the city (not so suitable for tourists)

04 October 2024

In the Madrid Rio area, you will find this cultural gem; strolling through Matadero is a must.

Cultural activities in Madrid Río, a true benchmark... we are talking about Matadero Madrid.

If you think you've seen everything in Madrid, we're here to prove you wrong. Forget the Prado and the hustle and bustle of Puerta del Sol. Here, across the river and among old industrial warehouses, lies the true heartbeat of the city: Matadero Madrid. This is not just any cultural center. It’s the place where alternative art blends with the sound of skaters, film projections you didn’t even know existed, and clandestine concerts that kick off before midnight.

 


Matadero is not a place to just pass by. You enter with no expectations and leave with your head filled with images and sounds you can't shake off. Exhibitions? Yes, but forget about the typical gallery. Here you dive into audiovisual experiences that seem designed to make you question everything. Giant murals, installations that interact with you, and workshops where you get your hands dirty. There’s something about this place that captivates: each week is a mystery. You might stumble upon artists exhibiting their first wild creations, independent film festivals, or even an urban art workshop that ends in an improvised music jam.

 


If you're staying at Acta Pirámides, you're just a whisper away from this creative epicenter. With a ten-minute walk, you exchange the city's hustle for the murmur of the authentic Madrid vibe. There are no tourist brochures guiding you; every corner has something to tell you, but only if you know how to listen. And for those staying at Acta Madfor, the entire Madrid Río route becomes the perfect prelude to arrive with an open mind and a spirit ready for the unexpected.
So now you know, if you want to see what Madrid hides when the curtains close, drop by Matadero. But we warn you: this is the kind of place that doesn't easily let you go. You enter curious... and leave addicted.

The real gastronomy of Porto (the city of francesinha and more things)
