Madrid Is Calling: Your Muuz Guide to This European Summer

By: Dèlia Rubio

As a girl from Barcelona, I’ll admit it, Madrid has slowly stolen pieces of my heart. There’s something about this city that feels freer in summer: the golden hour on every terraza, the way nights stretch endlessly with laughter and music in the background...

I come here often, and every time, I fall for a different version of Madrid. So if you're planning a summer escape to the capital, here’s my personal little guide, a mix of plans, places and energy that feel so Madrid right now:

Start your day at Casto Cafetería on Gran Vía

Located just steps from Gran Vía, Casto Cafetería is a charming bakery and specialty coffee shop known for its artisanal pastries and high-quality coffee. Their pistachio croissants and cinnamon rolls are local favorites, and the café offers a cozy spot to enjoy your morning brew. The space is bright and inviting, with a modern yet warm atmosphere. It's an ideal place to relax, read, or simply watch the city come to life. @casto.house

Malasaña afternoons

This neighbourhood is my weakness. Vintage stores, tiny art galleries, unexpected street art, it’s full of personality. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect summer dress or just wandering aimlessly, you’ll always end up finding something you didn’t know you needed.

Sunset at Templo de Debod

Every city has its magic hour. In Madrid, it’s here. Pack a little snack or grab a drink nearby, and sit with friends or solo. The sky turns every shade of pink and orange, and the whole city slows down for a moment.

Chueca at night

Madrid doesn’t believe in boring nights. Especially not in Chueca. Whether you're hopping between rooftop bars or dancing in a tiny club with fairy lights and reggaeton, this barrio is full of good energy. Come as you are, and enjoy everything.
