The eleventh edition of Cibeles de Cine kicks off at the Crystal Gallery of CentroCentro, featuring over 30 films, premieres, and classics until September 8. Last year, it attracted over 40,000 spectators.
Summer in Madrid has an unmissable event at the Cibeles Palace. From this Thursday until September 8, the Crystal Gallery of CentroCentro transforms into one of the most spectacular open-air cinemas in the city: Cibeles de Cine celebrates its eleventh edition with a programme that includes more than thirty titles.
Over 30 films for all tastes
This year's selection combines international blockbusters, auteur films, restored classics, and a strong presence of Spanish cinema. Among the most anticipated national productions are Maspalomas, Amarga Navidad, and Tres adioses.
New this year, every Thursday will feature the Campari Cycle, a selection of festival films including titles like Michael and Amarga Navidad. It's an opportunity to discover gems that don't always make it to commercial screens.
A plan that gains followers every summer
The summer cinema at the Cibeles Palace has established itself as one of the major cultural events of the Madrid summer. In its last edition, over 40,000 spectators enjoyed the screenings, making it one of the most popular summer cinemas in the capital.
The success lies in a formula that combines a carefully curated programme, a unique setting —the iron and glass architecture of the gallery— and the chance to enjoy a different night in the heart of Madrid. It's not just going to the cinema: it's about experiencing something special.
In addition to the films, attendees can enhance their evening with various gastronomic offerings. There are several ticket options, from the basic to the premium, which includes popcorn, a salmon bagel, a Campari Spritz, and a reserved sofa. A fantastic plan, indeed.
How to get tickets and what are the timings?
Sessions begin at dusk, around 21:30 hours, and tickets are already on sale on the CentroCentro website. Prices range from 6 to 15 euros, depending on the option. It is recommended to book in advance, as the most popular nights —especially weekends and Thursdays during the Campari cycle— often sell out.
For Madrileños looking for ways to cope with the heat, Cibeles de Cine presents the perfect plan: fresh air, good company, and a big screen under the stars. And all this without leaving the centre, just a step away from the Cibeles fountain. Can you ask for more?
