August Festivals in Madrid

from The Making of Madrid Hosted by Felicity Hughes ⏐ Lonely Planet writer and tour guide

Proof that there is fun to be had in August even though half the city has decamped to the beach! In this episode I introduce three festivals held in Lavapiés during our hottest month. In it you'll learn what a verbena, a vestido chinés and a manton de manila is as well as hear a little bit of my impromptu singing of a zarzuela classic!
