Metro Travel through underground Madrid: the most beautiful stations
Buitrago This is how the oldest living nativity scene in Madrid is created
From circus shows to light games, ice rinks, churros with chocolate and charity races.
Here are some of the best plans to enjoy these dates in Madrid.
CIRCUS DAYS
The following plans feature the greatest show in the world.
The first is called
Circo Price at Christmas,
a true classic when these dates arrive.
It opens today and will be two steps from Atocha
until January 7
with a story about five friends in search of the worlds of Music, Laughter, Candy,
Mirrors and Skyline
.
Circo
del Sol
also returns to Madrid with a new proposal, Luzia, inspired by the people, places and stories that define
Mexico
through its collective imagination.
It can be seen on the
Puerta del Sol Stage,
the company's permanent headquarters in the city.

PARTY IN THE BOTANICAL GARDEN
Nature on fire
is the title of the plan for the Royal Botanical Garden, a light appointment in the middle of the Landscape of Light that investigates the origin of life through mycology.
It is the theme chosen for the fourth edition of the event, a dreamlike experience available
until January 15.
The staging consists of 20 light installations, as well as an exhibition of scientific photographs in the
Villanueva pavilion
.
Not surprisingly, part of the latest research confirms that one of the oldest sets of living beings related to the origin of life are fungi, since they populated the Earth before
animals and plants.
It is the starting point created by the producer Letsgo.

INSIDE A FAIRY TALE
We jump to another botanical garden, that of
Alfonso XIII
of the Complutense University, the scene of another festive performance wrapped in special lighting,
El Manantial de los Sueños: the origin of Christmas
.
This one, however, is centered on a classic
Christmas tale
where fairies guide visitors through activities linked to magic and fantasy.
There is no shortage of decorated gardens,
parades
, souvenir markets, parades, recycling workshops, snowball battles, a musical and gastronomic canteen... We must add
the largest ice rink in Madrid
and some frozen gorges to test the most adventurous through different circuits, as well as other immersive experiences that seek to explain
the origin of Christmas.
Hence the name of the event.
It is completed with performances starring springs, fountains and geysers.
Everything, until January 8.

ICE SKATING
Another of the capital's Christmas traditions is ice skating on ice rinks such as the Matadero rink in
Madrid Río,
measuring 600 square metres, and where figure skating exhibitions are held free of charge by the Madrid Federation of Winter sports.
Those of
Plaza de España,
with its craft fair, its food stalls and its theatrical performances, and the one of the Crystal Gallery of the
Cibeles Palace
, are other alternatives.
Those who prefer a permanent rink can go to the Ice Palace, in Hortaleza,
Las Rosas,
on Avenida Niza, or the Roller Center at Hacienda de Pavones.
Attention, there are initiation courses for laymen.

TROTS TO FAREWELL TO THE YEAR
The
San Silvestre Vallecana
race on the last day of the year has been an unmissable event for 57 years for locals and strangers.
More than 40,000 participants have signed up to cover its 10 kilometers since, in 1964, the Galician
Antonio Sabugueiro
devised the experience with some friends in the image and likeness of the one that was done (and continues to be done) in Sao Paulo every December 31st.
It is not the only opportunity to burn asphalt during these dates.
On December 18, the
Santa Claus Solidarity Race
will take place , organized by El Corte Inglés.
Essential requirement to participate?
Wearing Santa's clothing or his elves.
