Cibeles de cine

You can enjoy one of Madrid's most iconic events from 27 June to 12 September. "Cibeles de cine" is held in the spectacular glass gallery of the Cibeles Palace, which adds a unique and special atmosphere to the event. The extensive programme of this ninth edition includes classics such as "Dirty Dancing" and new releases such as "Rivals" and "Inside Out 2". If you are staying in our apartments, you can be there in just 15 minutes.

La Estival

The Plaza de España will once again be the setting for La Estival from 13 July to 15 September. Every night, various films such as "Bad Boys 4", "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Robot Dreams" will be shown. There will also be monologues, gastronomy and a summer market. You can buy tickets on the official website. And a detail that might be of interest: La Estival is pet friendly! It takes about 20 minutes to get there by metro or bus from Gran Vía.

La Terraza Magnética 2024

As usual, La Casa Encendida is hosting La Terraza Magnética 2024, an event where you can enjoy open-air cinema and concerts from 5 July to 31 August.

Autocine Madrid

Finally, if you come to Madrid by car, we recommend you try the drive-in experience. Imagine enjoying a movie from the comfort of your car while munching on a delicious hamburger, hot dog or popcorn. The retro atmosphere, comfort, and charm of open-air cinemas make drive-ins ideal for couples, families, and friends. You can get there by car from Gran View Apartments in 30 minutes.
