INTRODUCTION
With great eagerness, Madrid dives into 2021. After a very complicated year, we are
slowly starting to think about returning to normal. The Spanish capital is more than
ready to welcome visitors with open arms, and we hope that, very soon, tourists will
once again choose us as their destination. There’s a lot going on, including the
reopening of the Hotel Ritz – a true icon of the city – under the name Mandarin
Oriental Ritz Madrid. Steeped in history, this hundred-year-old hotel has
unsurprisingly become a place where locals gather and meet, for it now boats five new
gastronomic spaces helmed by chef Quique Dacosta, who has three Michelin stars
under his belt. The city’s terraces are once again brimming with life and, as we gladly
welcome the warm weather, they are the place to be. As are the new lakeside
restaurants at Casa de Campo Park, which will make you feel as though you’re strolling
down a seafront promenade. And to all this, we would like to add a very true and
encouraging message: our culture is safe. Madrid’s heart is beating loud for all to hear
in the city’s newest venues and immersive art galleries, which are always looking for
new ways to attract visitors. Now, more than ever, the capital’s traditional artisan
workshops remind us that these age-old trades are not as old as they seem… The
upcoming months in Madrid promise many a new event: we’re ready for 2021 and all
it brings.
