Madrid Outdoor Movies & More

outdoors — By on July 19, 2010 2:37 pm


If there’s one English phrase that Spaniards are sure to know and use in the summer, it’s Open Air. These two simple words have the coolest implications – something cultural in an outdoor space. Until the 24th of July, The Open Air Movie Theatre occupies the Tierno Galván Park, located in the south of Madrid. Every night, a different blockbuster will be projected onto a massive screen. The movies are all hits – the selection includes films that are currently screening in the Madrid’s theatres or have definitely made it onto people’s ‘top ten’ lists.

But everyone knows that going to a movie is not a complete night in itself – which is why the venue has smartly become much more than a Theatre. There are also two restaurants – Japanese and Spanish Tapas – with terraces so one can tomar algo with friends before or after the flick. As if that’s not enough, after the movies, the venue will convert into a club. DJ Focus and DJ Mini, both part of the Red Bull Acadamy  – a renowned ‘DJ school’ – will pump the tunes until 3:00 a.m.
