This year Father’s Day falls on a Sunday, which is perfect for a wonderful family day out. Madrid offers a wide range of leisure and culinary options to make the day as special as can be.
Free Star Wars exhibition
For the next four months, the Force will be with the people of Madrid thanks to the exhibition ‘Star Wars Universe‘ which is on display at the Tomás y Valiente Art Centre in Fuenlabrada. The exhibition includes up to 150 life-size models of characters and sets from the films, including Han Solo, Yoda and Boba Fett. However, the most popular figure is that of Darth Maul, of which only a total of 25 were made.
As well as the exhibition, you can also enjoy a virtual reality space where you can become a young Padawan and learn how to use a lightsabre or attend Jedi school. The exhibition will be open to the public on Sunday 19 from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 21:00.
A meal at one of the best restaurants in town
Enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine in Tepic. Located in the heart of the Salamanca district, here you can enjoy two distinct atmospheres to make the experience truly unique. On the one hand, there is the Bar, where you can enjoy traditional Mexican food in a laid-back atmosphere along with a wide variety of cocktails and mixed drinks. Then you have the Gastronomic Zone, for large or more intimate celebrations, with a wide range of traditional Mexican dishes.
From the menu, make sure to order the guacamole, the 4 different types of quesadillas, the tacos al pastor or the cochinita pibil, and for dessert, you can’t go wrong with either the pastel de leche or the Mexican fritters.
Family workshops at the Thyssen Museum
Every weekend, the Thyssen Museum organises workshops for the whole family. This is a perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day. That weekend, for only 8 euros per person, you can enjoy the workshop ‘The title is mine‘, an activity for families with children over the age of 7 that combines literary creation with observing the museum’s works.
Three different proposals with the same aim: to enjoy a unique Father’s Day with the family. And if you are not from Madrid but are planning to spend these days in the city, don’t miss the wonderful offers we have prepared for you at Hotel Moderno.
