The capital of Madrid presents a wide range of outdoor cinemas for this summer, featuring free spaces, terraces with headphones, and sessions for all audiences.
Madrid is preparing for a new season of outdoor cinema. Between July and September, various locations in the capital will host screenings under the stars, with a selection ranging from classics of the seventh art to premieres and family films. Prices range from free to eight euros, and most sessions take place in parks, squares, and cultural centres.
One of the most notable series is 'Summer in the Park', which takes place on Wednesdays from July 1 to August 26 in the Parque de Santander, in the Chamberí district. Admission is free until capacity is reached, and the programming includes titles such as 'Sundays', 'High Abilities', or 'Olivia and the Invisible Earthquake'.
In the heart of the city, the Palacio de Cibeles hosts 'Cibeles Cinema', under the glass dome of CentroCentro. The sessions run from June 25 to September 8, with a ticket price of 7 euros at the box office and 8 euros online. The offer includes classics and premieres in original version with subtitles or dubbed, with sound through wireless headphones. Among the scheduled films are 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', 'Salvation Project', 'Pulp Fiction', or 'Spirited Away'.
The Parque de la Bombilla, in the Moncloa-Aravaca district, hosts the Fescinal from June 26 to September 6, with daily sessions. Admission costs 6.16 euros, and the lineup includes titles such as 'Toy Story 5', 'Volver', 'The Evil', or 'Little Amélie'.
La Casa Encendida, on Ronda de Valencia, organises 'The Magnetic Terrace' on Fridays from June 26 to August 1, with a general price of 8 euros and reduced rates of 4 euros for those under 30, over 65, and unemployed individuals. The programming includes 'Portrait of an Alcoholic', 'A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night', or 'Angel's Egg'.
In the Letras neighbourhood, the Casa Museo Lope de Vega offers free cinema on Wednesdays in July at 10:00 PM, featuring films such as 'Emily', 'I, the Worst of All', or 'The Lieutenant Nun'. Admission is free.
For the residents of the capital, this offer provides an opportunity to enjoy cinema in outdoor settings, with affordable prices and a varied programme. Many of these venues are close to green areas or terraces, allowing for a combination of the screening with a walk or dinner.
From the organisers of each series, it is recommended to check the official websites for the exact times of each screening, as they may be subject to changes due to weather conditions or scheduling. In case of rain, some sessions are moved to covered spaces or cancelled.
The City Council of Madrid and the Community of Madrid collaborate in promoting these activities through their official channels, such as the Youth account of the Community of Madrid, which has published a complete guide on social media.
