Creative Family Bonding: Rhythm and Movement Workshop

Hats off to The Casa Encendida for always extending their artistic offerings to children! Whether you are a traveling family or settled in Madrid, you and your child will greatly benefit from this feel-good activity.

The workshop offers a time and space for children (and adults!) to be creative and expressive through dance and rhythm. Daily objects (pens, keys and spoons, to name a few) will transform into percussion instruments, so that everything learned in the workshop can be re-created from any house (or hotel room). The objective of the 3 hours is to create an atmosphere that emotionally brings together parents and children, reinforcing and enriching family ties through musical expression and dance. The experience will undoubtedly benefit the creative and corporeal world of children.

Pilar Parea, the workshop leader, stimulates and encourages the active participation in musical and artistic processes through loosely instructed ‘games.’ The workshop approaches different styles of dancing from around the world through movement, physical expression and rhythm games with daily objects. Experimentation and improvisation is subtly but surely encouraged.

Pilar Perea is a piano and art instructor from Madrid whose teachings have strong roots in the Waldrof pedagogy.

To sign up, reserve a space online or over the phone (+34 902 43 03 22). The maximum capacity is fifteen families per class. For each child, one parent must also attend. Families with children 7-11 years old are welcome.
Where: La Casa Encendida
Address: Ronda de Valencia, 2
When: June 26th and July 3rd
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 14:00 p.m.
Cost: 15 euros

Visit the Mercado de San Miguel

If you have been in Madrid for longer than 3 days chances are you’ve visited the Mercado de San Miguel. If you haven’t been there yet, time to scold your so called Madrid-experienced friends and make your way to the Plaza de San Miguel to enjoy the many flavors, colors and smells of this historic market.  Inside it is well kept and filled with the first class foods, from the most traditional of Spain—smoked pork, olives, paella—to spectacular sushi to fresh fruits and vegetables. A lot of the food may be for your eyes only though: the market is anything but cheap. Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 22:00 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Magic Show at Houdini Sala de Magia

Houdini Sala de Magia claims to be the only place dedicated exclusively to magic in all of Europe, and although this statement is as implausible as it is impossible to prove, the Sala is nonetheless a rare place. Not only is it used for all kinds of magic shows that are supposed to be top of the line, the locality itself is a stylized museum of magic: it is filled with authentic posters and artwork, some of which are over a century old, and has a collection of old artifacts used in old magic shows and actual rituals (including satanic ones!) from the golden age of superstition and witchery. It is open Tuesday’s to Friday’s, since events and scheduling are subject to change, check out updates here.

Cable Cars in Madrid

For a bird’s view of the city visit the Teleferico de Madrid, around since 1969 and still retaining that old school touch. It is also a convenient way to enter Casa de Campo, the city’s largest municipal park and home to a variety of trees and animal species. A two way ticket is 5.15 Euros, though prices vary depending on the day and number of people per group. For more information go to the website.
