Every day
Flamenco Essential Flamenco Show · Centro • € 0-€ 49
Flamenco hits different in a cave. Essential Flamenco packs dancers, singers, and guitarists into a vaulted brick cellar where the footwork rattles your ribs and the sangria comes with your ticket.
The Marriage of Figaro
November 10 at 7:30pm +12
Teatro Real · Centro
Mozart's wittiest opera gets a fresh spin from director Robert Carsen, in a co-production with the Met. Figaro outwits his master in a comedy where love, class, and mischief collide.
I ´m wild!

Real Teatro de Retiro · Retiro • 20 €
A little girl gets lost in the jungle, finding protection with Koko the gorilla before returning to face city life. At Real Teatro de Retiro, La Maquiné presents this object and mask theatre production featuring live music.
Cinema
La Escopeta Nacional
Every day at 7pm
Teatro Español · Centro • 6-22 €
Berlanga and Azcona's biting political satire still stings half a century later. A farcical hunting trip with the Francoist elite traps a Catalan businessman in a web of corruption, appearances, and backroom deals that feels unsettlingly familiar.
Cobijo

Four queer refugees fleeing for the United States instead met harsh migration policies in a Guatemala shelter, where Madaí, Chanel, Rosmer, and Victoria reconstructed their lives together. Visitors attend these screenings at Matadero Madrid.
Les matins merveilleux
November 10 at 8pm

Old disco vinyl tucked in a Twingo trunk and the memory of a grandmother anchor Charlie on a southward drive that leads toward a Mediterranean beach, a nostalgic wine merchant, and a pizzería escape at Sala Azcona.
Las Poquianchis
November 11 at 6pm
Casa de América · Salamanca • Free
Felipe Cazals' 1976 shocker dramatizes Mexico's infamous Poquianchis case: three sisters who lured girls into servitude and worse. A brutal, essential classic of Mexican cinema that still stings.

Date Night Ideas in other cities
Frequently asked questions
How are these date night ideas in Madrid chosen?
I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Is this list up to date?
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
Do I need an account to use Outgoing?
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Is Outgoing free?
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
