September; What is happening in Madrid and Festivals in Spain.
In Madrid during September, you can expect
warm, pleasant weather,
a continuation of summer festivities like the Brava Madrid
music festival in mid-September,
and the opportunity to visit major attractions such as Retiro Park and the Prado Museum.
September is a great time to visit Madrid as the crowds thin, the weather remains
ideal for outdoor activities, and the city comes alive with a mix of cultural events and local traditions.
September is the month of traditional grape harvest festivals in Spain. The different activities,
exhibitions and tastings organised during these festivities are a perfect opportunity to learn more
about the culture of wine, one of Spain’s best-known products. Some of the most widely recognised
are those held in Jerez and Logroño. The last weeks of the summer are also the time when some of
the most important annual festivals take place, such as the Festes de la Mercè in Barcelona and the Feria de Albacete.
September is also the month for different festivities where diverse historical events are recreated or staged, like the
Fiestas de Carthagineses y Romanos, and the Fiestas del Motín in Aranjuez.
