If the Spaniards know how know how to push all the right temptation buttons, then it is easy to see why Madrid would use expression, “LET MADRID SEDUCE YOU” as the platform for their promotional campaign.
This City oozes Class, sophistication, snobbery, royalty and riches, poverty and humility, sex appeal and decadence, stunning architecture, magnificent buildings, tacky apartments, neon lighting and most importantly a friendly population with real attitude and style.
This is one of the great cities of the world and a fantastic destination for a hen Party.
If your group did nothing else but sit on the steps of some magnificent building on the Gran Via and become intoxicated with the sounds and smells of this great City, it would still have had the Hen Party trip of a lifetime.
Of course there are lots of adrenaline pumping activities in and around Madrid, but for a really special Hen Party just park them and soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the visual delights of the City instead.
For the shoppers, and if you’re not in that bracket as a Hen, go see a doctor, a walk down Gran Via will take your breath away with all that it offers by way of shopping activity set against one of the city’s most impressive backdrops. As day turns into night the avenue and buildings light up in a spectacular way, with the flickering multi-coloured neon signs illuminating shop fronts and screaming messages to the public about upcoming musical events and theatrical productions adding to the mystique and vibrancy of the street. For the real shopper, for the real Hen, this is heaven.
During the day, it is important to take a break from retail therapy if only to confirm that “absence makes the cash last longer”, so give the Hens a lash of culture. No better place than Madrid.
The city is one of the major cultural centres of the world and will appeal to Hens of all walks of life as the range of Galleries, museums, theatres, auditoriums and foundations is huge and will certainly hit some cord with the enquiring Hens.
Who doesn’t love a fairy story involving Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses all living happily ever after in the Royal Palace. Then put reality into the story and visit the Spanish Royal Palace and Royal Armoury.
Home to the Kings of Spain from Carlos III all the way to Alfonso XIII, Madrid’s Royal Palace is now open to anyone who wishes to take a trip through Spanish History as well as enjoy the beautiful architecture and art collection housed there.
While the Royal Family no longer live there it is still regarded as the official residence where important ceremonies are held.
The spectacular changing of the guard takes place there every Wednesday.
“The way to Hens heart is through her stomach”, so feeding the brood is very important.
In Madrid, gastronomy is culture, it is leisure, it is business and it is art. The range of culinary variety is vast and offers everything from traditional homemade dishes to the most innovative and creative imaginable.
There’s nothing like a bit of “shake, rattle and roll” to ignite the dancing genes and get the body moving after an exquisite dinner and a few gallons of local wine.
Nightlife in Madrid is unique- there is nothing like it anywhere in the world, in fact going out at night is a fountain of culture. There’s something for everybody from chill out bars to enticing clubs and from questionable dives to wild after hour’s clubs.
Madrid is definitely a great destination for Hen Parties.
