By April Wagner
Hola! April here, your very own luxury travel companion. Ready for a weekend of pampering, fine dining, and artistic indulgence in the heart of Spain, Madrid? Buckle up, because I've prepared an irresistible 2.5 day itinerary for you, punctuated with delightful meals, private tours, and hidden gems.
Kick start your Friday evening with an ambrosial dinner at the Michelin-starred DiverXO, a gastronomic haven where traditional Spanish flavors meet avant-garde cooking. Make sure to reserve a table in advance!
Post-dinner, embark on a private moonlit tour of the Royal Palace. The history-soaked walls and the grandeur of the palace under the stars is an experience your family won't forget.
Saturday begins with breakfast at the family-friendly El Corte Ingles Gourmet Experience. Afterwards, lose yourself in the labyrinthine corridors of the Prado Museum or indulge in your husband's newfound love for art at the Reina Sofia Museum.
For lunch, I recommend Casa Dani, where you can relish the best tortilla in Madrid. In the afternoon, your daughters can shop till they drop at Gran Via, while you and your husband tee off at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.
On Sunday, pamper yourself with a rejuvenating spa session at The Organic Spa, followed by a luxurious lunch at Ten con Ten. Finally, bid adieu to Madrid with a glass of Sangria at the popular El Sur.
