A Music Lover's Guide To Madrid

Madrid is an incredible city for music lovers, with a huge variety of live events and nightlife. Here’s our guide to everything you need to know about the music scene in the Spanish capital.

Shopping

1. Disco Killers

Market, Shop

Disco Killers is one of Madrid’s most well-known record shops and is a great place to check out if you’re looking for vinyl or CDs. What started out as a small stand at the famous El Rastro flea market has for the last 16 years been a fully fledged shop on Calle Montera. The staff are helpful and they play a great selection of music that may just inspire you to dance around as you shop.
