As every year, Madrid dresses up in lights and colours to celebrate the most magical season: Christmas. From November 29 2024 to January 6 2025 the Naviluz experience returns, the famous Christmas bus that travels through the illuminated streets of the city. We bring you all the information for you to take advantage of it and a summary of our experience! Inaugurated in 2012 and originally known as ‘’ the Christmas Bus ‘’, Naviluz breaks records every year for the number of attendees and lights to enjoy. For the Festivities 2024-2025, the city council deployed 12 million LED lights at 230 locations across Madrid. One of the biggest surprises this year is that the lights include designs created by first and second grade children, who won a competition promoted by the city council. In addition, the iconic illuminated tree at Puerta del Sol will have a new design, 37 metres high and 245,000 points of light. 🚌 What is the tour like? The route of the Christmas Bus has only one stop , in Calle Felipe IV, on the side of the Prado Museum (just behind the statue of Goya in front of the Prado Museum). At the end of the circuit, the bus drops off a few metres away, at Plaza Cánovas del Castillo. The approximate duration of the journey varies between 45 and 50 minutes, depending on traffic. The Naviluz 2024 runs through some of the most emblematic areas of Madrid. The districts along the route are Retiro , Salamanca , Chamberí and Centro , passing through important points such as Serrano, Velázquez, Gran Vía, Alcalá and Cibeles. Thanks to the open-air roof , you will enjoy the lights from a privileged perspective. The festive atmosphere makes Naviluz an experience to go with family, friends or as a couple; it is a unique opportunity to feel the Christmas season in all its splendour. 🎟️ How do I get tickets? Tickets for Naviluz 2024 have been available since 15 November on an official website set up by the Madrid City Council and tend to sell out quickly. Here is a mini tutorial: Book online : Go to the website ( click here ) and select date and time. Prices : Tickets vary according to the time before or after 9pm. Adults pay 10 or 8 euros; seniors over 65, children up to 11 years old or people with disabilities pay 5 or 4 euros; while children under 7 years old can enjoy the ride for free. Pro tip : If you can't find tickets for a bus you are interested in, we suggest you look for other buses for the exact same time (there may be three buses leaving every ten minutes!) or try another schedule. The number of seats occupied can vary considerably depending on the day and time you choose. 🌟 Our take Naviluz is, beyond any doubt, one of the must-see plans in Madrid during Christmas. It combines the best of the monuments and points of interest with an original experience. If you are a tourist, you can get to know the city with a dazzling first look. If you are a resident, you can see Madrid in a new light that will make you fall in love with it. In previous editions they had put carols on the loudspeakers of the bus and gave it an extra touch, but unfortunately this year there were none. We advise you to take some extra warm clothes if you are going upstairs, because of the extra wind when the vehicle is in motion. On this occasion there was a group of six of us and we were in the first seats on the top deck of the bus, we had a lovely time and took lots of photos, video calls and filming! Our opinion To give you a better idea of what Naviluz is all about, here is a video with a summary of the highlights of our experience this year: 🎫 Have you got your tickets yet?

We survived the Great War and were lucky enough to be able to enjoy Taylor Swift's historic "The Eras Tour" concert in Madrid 🌟 But... what many have been asking us these last few weeks: 🎫 How did we get tickets to see Taylor? It is no surprise to anyone to know how complicated it is to get tickets for Taylor Swift, it was experienced in the same way all over the world and particularly from Spain with Tomi we experienced it that way: Taylor announces the "Europe Leg" and among the cities he will be playing in is Madrid on 30 May. → Twitter explodes, we all go crazy with joy. Since the announcement, Ticketmaster gives 72hs to register on a form. → Basically if you weren't on Twitter you didn't know about it. Months later you might (or might not) be lucky enough to receive a magic link and code to access ticket sales. → As you can imagine... I didn't get one. Tristeza nao tem fin. They enable tickets ONLY for people with a code. → Which, by the way, only those who had registered within 72 hours could receive it. The tickets are sold out in a matter of hours. → We lose all hope of seeing Taylor. There is hope! They manage to move a game that was at the Bernabeue and announce a new date for May 29th.→ Once again I receive no code.... In the midst of the chaos of these new mails, Tomi finds out that a colleague at work HAS A CODE and she manages to get us 2 tickets for the 29th. → Wtf are we going to see Taylor? WE'RE GOING TO SEE TAYLOR!!!✨🎉 👢How was the preparation before the concert? After the emotional ups and downs we went through, the date of the concert was approaching and we had to define two crucial aspects for it: 1 - The Outfit We know that this recital is an ideal opportunity for all those fashionistas and seamstresses who literally build works of art to wear these days, but I regret to inform you that this was not our case. Not having this kind of talent, we made do with going "colour coded" and dressing in the colours we like the most. For those of you who like to browse this kind of stuff: Tomi went lilac for "Speak Now" and I went blue for "Midnights" 💜💙. 2- The friendship bracelets We couldn't be without friendship bracelets to exchange at the recital. So we went in search of beads and beads of letters to make our own. We got what we were looking for in the Action and Tedi shops. We had several get-togethers with friends, in cafes and homes, with Taylor playlists, where we enjoyed spending time together and, most importantly, making lots and lots of bracelets to exchange. ✨I share with you photos of the bracelets I made for this day: 🏟️ The long-awaited day has arrived We went to the concert in full enjoyment mode and we didn't plan beforehand to record videos for Reels or Youtube in order to be present in the moment. Buuut as the concert progressed we found ourselves recording little clips of cute moments, like Taylor's entrance to the stage, the torches of the mobile phones in Marjorie, or the colourful light project of the Eras in My Tears Ricochet. It wasn't until several days after the concert, that we were watching again the videos we had recorded that day and decided to share them on our Youtube channel to share a little piece of that joy with more people. We share with you our favourite moments from Taylor Swift's concert. Taylor's entrance to the stage - Eras Tour Madrid N1 We were very quiet waiting for the recital to start until we saw the famous "cleaning box" in which everyone knows what goes inside Taylor and from then on the screaming didn't stop until 3 and a half hours later. All too well - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 One of the songs that goes into my top 5 Taylor songs without a doubt. The arms were not going to resist 10 minutes of recording, but I tried to record my favourite part when it starts with "And maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much". Don't blame me - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 Iconic. I wanted to record the mega note that Taylor hits in this song, I ended up recording the transition from "Don't blame me" to "Look what you made me do". It wasn't intentional, but we appreciate it 🙌🏻 Willow - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 This song is simply magical. And you know what the worst thing is? I heard this song for the first time when I saw the Eras Tour in the cinema. Until then, although I knew it existed, I hadn't heard it. It was a before and after and just like that it became one of my top 5. Style - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 I wanted to record the colour combination of Taylor's outfit in Era 1989 because it had the colours of the Spanish flag! And it couldn't miss the famous strut (or walk) that Taylor does in this song, queen 💅🏻. But Daddy I love him - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 At the Europe Leg we were treated to a glimpse of Taylor's new Era with 7 songs from "The Tortured Poets Department" or as they call it in my TL "The Tortured Poets". In this video I put together 3 fragments of the beginning of the era and parts of the song. Who's afraid of little old me? - Eras Tour Madrid N1 My favourite from the TTPD album. As this era wasn't in the film version I didn't want to spoil anything online until I saw it live, and I'm glad I filmed it because eeh, the eyes at the end?!? Nono, it's just all good. Fortnight - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 Can we talk about the fact that there is a bed spinning on the stage? I didn't notice it at the time, but then watching the video again I noticed that the bed structure has the initials of the TTPD album on it. I love the details that the people who put the show together have, they are in everything. I can do it with a broken heart - Eras Tour Madrid N1 It always makes me feel upset to enjoy this song with its undertones, but Tay manages to transform her pain into art with astonishing ease. Did you notice that within the song you can hear the cues from her in-monitor? By the way, this video is courtesy of Tomi, who recorded 100% of this song. Lavender Haze - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 This is the only song I filmed 100% complete and you know why? Because it's Tomi's favourite (aww💜) and I wanted him to be able to have the recording to watch as many times as he wants after the show. So if you like the video you know who we have it thanks to. Karma - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 The end of the night is approaching at the Bernabeu and everyone is shouting "karma is a cat". The atmosphere is super festive, all the dancers dressed in colourful costumes, lots of confetti and even mini fireworks. ✨ Definitely the best closing for this +3 hours of recital! Canciones Varias - The Eras Tour Madrid N1 As I mentioned in the intro of this section, it all started by filming small fragments of beautiful moments of the concert. As they were so short, 20 or 40 seconds, we decided to compile it all into a "mixed" video. 🎶 In this video you have mini clips of: Cruel Summer, Betty, August, My Tears Ricochet, Marjorie y Shake it Off. This was our experience of seeing Taylor in Madrid! Honestly, it was a total pleasure and we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to see her live. I feel it's a concert that will go down in history, like Queen or Beatles in their time, and one day I'll be able to tell my grandchildren that we saw it in person.

Until 8 September 2024, at CaixaForum Madrid you can attend the exhibition "The Science of Pixar" and unravel the secrets of how your favourite animated films are made. This summer Madrid is hosting the interactive exhibition that began in 2015 at the Museum of Science in Boston and since 2017 has been travelling the world to show the details of 3D animation. The Science of Pixar is an approximately one-and-a-half-hour tour through nine sectors that correspond to each step of the production process (pipeline) of a Pixar animated film. Tickets are available for €6 every day, but children under 16 and La Caixa customers get in free. Open daily from 10:00 to 20:00, it is open to all ages and fully accessible. Located on the first floor of the exhibition centre, upon entering there is a reception hall with a short five-minute introductory video in which Pixar's digital designers and animators explain their work process. The creators' comments are interspersed with clips from Pixar films to give a better appreciation of each example. The exhibition is then divided into nine sectors, corresponding to the steps of the film production process: art and sketches; modelling; articulation; surfaces; sets and cameras; animation, simulation, lighting and rendering. In each of them, the exhibition set up interactive stations to experience first-hand what each step consists of. Some of the interactive stations have parts of different materials and textures or involve correctly positioning buttons and levers to achieve the desired effect on the 3D model. Others are high-tech and allow you to tweak the animation in real time with surprising results. On a very positive note, there was more than one interactive station (two, even three) in each section to avoid delays or queues that would have detracted from the experience. In addition, each section is set with a Pixar movie set design and original soundtracks from the best blockbusters can be enjoyed. Throughout the tour you can take as many photos and videos as you like, without flash. Each installation has precise indications of which parts or objects can be touched and how to interact with the electronic controls. At the end of the exhibition, you can go to the CaixaForum gift shop and buy souvenirs or gifts alluding to Pixar. You're sure to want to see some of the films you experienced again! Want to see the exhibition in detail?
