¡De Madrid al Cielo! - FROM MADRID TO HEAVEN
Madrileños say it with pride, as if nothing could possibly follow. And once you’ve felt it — the magic, the madness, the beauty — you understand why they call it so “Close to Heaven.” Madrid is a cosmos of art, rhythm, and elegance, and this journey let us see its most hidden corners.
We closed down the Reina Sofía for a private dinner beneath Picasso’s Guernica. We stood alone in front of masterpieces. We dined in silence at the Prado. We met the maker of guitars played by legends. We were moved by an opera singer who defied every rule. We watched the man who reinvented flamenco — on horseback. We stepped backstage at the Teatro Real, not as spectators, but as insiders. And in Sevilla, we traced flamenco back to its roots, where it was born.
We didn’t just attend. We went backstage. We met the mavericks.
This was more than a trip.
