You’ll find its cultural line-up is packed full of every kind of show, activity and form of artistic expression to suit the widest range of tastes. There are numerous new venues and cultural centres where you can catch all the latest trends on the fringe of the more conventional cultural circuits. The city’s exhibitions, concerts and performances will give you a taste of the very latest avant-garde ideas and the most original influences. You’ll even have the chance to interact and participate actively in many productions. And some of the venues, such as the Casa Encendida, the Matadero, the Conde Duque and the Caixaforum, offer the added attraction of their outstanding architecture.
