“¡Madrid, por favor!,”

Our last travel show took place in the magnificent capital of Spain. It was a four-day immersion into the passionate culture of Madrid, featuring flamenco, corrida, and Rioja, fixed on film by the talented Ukrainian photographer, Vitalik Melnikov. Guests marveled at the masterpieces in the Prado Museum and were energized by the flamenco performances, returning home with captivating stories, new powerful connections, and inspiration from the sophisticated city.

“…returning home with captivating stories, new powerful connections, and inspiration from the sophisticated city.”

Prado or Prada? —the eternal question of an aesthete. Forgive us, Signora Miuccia! Today, we choose Prado. We visited the finest halls of the museum, admiring Spain’s splendid heritage because a respectable Noble Nose must distinguish Velázquez’s paintings from El Greco’s. A glass of sangria and off we fly to delve into art together.

We have conquered yet another capital, and it’s Real Madrid! No, it’s not your dad’s favorite football team. It’s the real Madrid for those who know the sense of life, for those who love to snack on jamón, sip wine, watch the legs of passionate flamenco dancers, shed a tear to José’s melancholy guitar song, and tickle their nerves with a bullfight—all washed down, naturally, with dry red!

Madrid—the sunniest capital in Europe, and you can’t help but love it. Why have we chosen Madrid? It’s simple; it has everything we love—royal architecture, delicious food, great wine, and lots of culture. Madrid—castanets, flamenco, red wine, and the birthplace of Iglesias. Do we need to say more?
