What to do this week in Madrid? The capital is full of cultural activities but very often we do not know when they start or where they take place. For this reason, at COOL we want you to be up to date with everything that is happening in the city and then we will detail the Madrid cultural guide. Exhibitions, festivals and musicals you can enjoy this week.

International Jazz Festival

The Madrid International Jazz Festival runs until November 30. Concerts, conferences, debates and exhibitions will fill the capital thanks to this new edition. The Fernán Gómez Theater, Centro Centro or Conde Duque are some of the stages where you can enjoy it.

Parthenope at the Royal Theater
