What to do this Saturday 7 March in Madrid

Free exhibitions, flamenco and special plans: these are some of the best events for this Saturday in Madrid. We have selected 9 specific suggestions for 7 March, with variety and dates worth not letting pass.

This Saturday, Madrid has that mix that is so appealing in March: cultural plans without spending money, suggestions linked to 8M, street atmosphere and options to extend the day from a quiet exhibition to a night of flamenco or a party. It is one of those Saturdays that lets you improvise as you go without running out of anything interesting to do.

If you still do not know what to do this Saturday 7 March in Madrid, here is a short list to help you decide quickly. There are cultural options without spending money, a couple of night-time plans to round off the day and activities that only take place this weekend.

Exhibition ‘Postcards of memory. Visual notes on places not forgotten’📷

(free)

If you fancy a quiet plan with atmosphere, this exhibition is perfect for starting Saturday without rushing. It also ends precisely on 7 March, so it is one of those visits you miss if you leave it for another day.

Exhibition ‘Ana Locking. Nostalgia / Utopia’📷

(free)

An ideal plan if you want something contemporary and visual, the sort of thing you discuss afterwards over a beer. The retrospective can be visited from 4 March and works very well as an afternoon plan, before dinner in Malasaña or Chamberí.

‘Mujeres Singulares’ outing📷

(free, 7 and 8 March)

For anyone looking for a different plan with history, this guided visit offers a tour of La Almudena Cemetery. It only lasts two days, 7 and 8 March, so it falls straight into the now-or-never category, and it is a plan that is especially appealing if you like urban routes with context.

Workshop ‘The mark of women. Creating a family album’📷

(free)

Among the last-minute additions, this workshop at Museo Cerralbo adds a very timely cultural and family plan for Saturday. It has something to appreciate in a guide like this: it not only fills a few hours, it also proposes doing something together and leaving with the feeling of having made good use of the day in a more personal way.

Flamenco series ‘Women live’📷

(7 to 12 March)

If you fancy live music with character, the ‘Mujeres en vivo’ series brings together performances by flamenco artists over several days, starting this Saturday. It is a perfect plan to go to with someone visiting Madrid or to give yourself a different night without leaving the city.

Show ‘Traficante de Endorfinas’📷

(7 March, 18:30)

A Saturday can also be an express cure for laughter, and this show is aimed exactly at that. If you want an easy plan to fit in, in the afternoon and before dinner, and to leave with your energy recharged, this is a safe bet.

Atlético Madrid vs Real Sociedad📷

(7 March, 18:30)

For those who prefer excitement and the stands, Atleti’s match at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano is a strong Saturday plan. It is ideal if you are going with friends or family and want the day to have the feel of a major event without thinking too much about it.

Changing of the guard and solemn relief at the Palacio Real📷

(free)

If you fancy an outdoor plan with a very Madrid feel, this is one of those scenes always worth seeing at least once. It works especially well for a morning outdoors in the centre and adds an iconic, free plan to the guide that is easy to combine later with vermouth, a museum or a walk through Madrid de los Austrias.

‘Kampus Festival Universitario’ party📷

(7 March, 23:00)

If your thing is extending Saturday until it becomes the early hours, this university party at VG Fuenlabrada is a straightforward ending with a clear timetable. Perfect for anyone looking for a night with a DJ and dancefloor atmosphere, without fuss.

Madrid always has more plans than fit into a day, but a curated list helps you choose without overwhelming you. If you want to spend nothing, start with the free exhibitions and finish with the Palacio Real; if you fancy something more visceral, choose flamenco; and if you are looking for a strong ending, finish with the stadium or a party. The updated selection also includes a family workshop at Museo Cerralbo and the solemn relief at the Palacio Real, two suggestions that reinforce Saturday’s more special and accessible side.
