CLIMATE
Although in Spain the temperate Mediterranean climate predominates, in the case of Madrid, being inland, temperatures are usually very marked and contrasting depending on the season, tending to cold in winter (about 6 degrees on average in winter) and hot in summer (25 degrees on average in July and August).
HOLIDAYS
During 2020 Madrid will have 14 public holidays, because to the 12 set by the Community of Madrid, two more local days are added and chosen by the City Council. It is about May 15 (festival of the patron saint of the city, San Isidro Labrador) and November 9 (festival of the patron saint of Madrid, Nuestra Señora de la Almudena). It is worth mentioning that during local holidays such as May 15 and August 15, among others, streets and venues in the La Latina area are usually very crowded.
SCHEDULES
The commercial life of Madrid wakes up between 09:00 and 10:00 in the morning, being mostly uninterrupted until 20:00 or 22:00, especially in the central areas. Those shops that close between morning and afternoon usually do so at 2:00 p.m., to resume their activity between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Madrid legislation allows total freedom of business hours, so in the most touristy areas of the city, especially around Puerta del Sol and Gran Vía, it is common to find shops open every day of the year, even on Sundays and holidays.
The restaurant also has long opening hours and, although the Spanish do not usually eat after 3:30 p.m., or 11:00 p.m. if it is dinner, there are always exceptions and places where nobody will say the phrase to us of "the kitchen is closed" if we have passed the time. In addition, the tapas option is always more flexible and any time of day is a good time to practice it.
