Madrid is a great city with plenty of shopping options, but prices can be quite high for tourists, especially in touristy areas like Plaza Mayor. However, there are also plenty of budget-friendly options available, like local markets and smaller shops outside of the city center.

Look for local markets and smaller shops outside of the city center for budget-friendly options. Also, try to avoid the touristy areas for cheaper prices.

Mindful meoweler tips

Enjoy a siesta cat-nap

The Spanish take an afternoon rest or ‘siesta’ from around 2 pm - 5 pm. Take a cue from the locals and rest your paws before exploring the city in the evening.

Try the traditional 'churros con chocolate'

A must-try Spanish delight! Fried dough pastry dipped in thick hot chocolate. Cats with a sweet tooth won’t be disappointed!

Visit the Prado Museum

Home to an incredible art collection, including works by Goya, Velázquez, and Rubens. A paw-some activity for cat lovers who appreciate art.

Watch the sunset at the Debod Temple

Built in the 2nd century BC, this ancient Egyptian temple is now located in the heart of Madrid’s city center. It’s a purr-fect spot to watch the sunset and relax after a long day of exploring.

Join a flamenco show

Experience the passion of Spanish flamenco dancing! Join a show and enjoy the music, singing, and dancing. Cats with rhythm will love it!
