During these days, our must-dos revolve around art. For instance, we wouldn’t miss the Dalí Infinito exhibition. It’s dedicated to the sculptural work of Salvador Dalí—one of his lesser-known facets—and it’s currently on display at the recently reopened Palacio de Gaviria. His surrealism and dreamlike language come to life through large-scale sculptures spread throughout the building. A real spectacle, complemented by original Dalí drawings.

The soundtrack to this getaway is clearly Rosalía—but if you fancy broadening your musical horizons, drop by Marilians Records. It’s one of the city’s most beloved record shops, located on one of its prettiest streets, Calle Noviciado.

For something sweet—and very much in tune with the Lux Tour—you’ll find it near the Movistar Arena. Just a few minutes’ walk away, at 25 Calle Fuente del Berro, Maison Ocraline opens its doors. This patisserie specialises in French madeleines and, to mark Rosalía’s tour, has created a piece inspired by La perla. It’s called Perle, available until 4 April, and features a glass glaze, edible glitter and even a pearl on top.

It’ll be warm during Easter in Madrid, so you’ll feel like spending time on terraces. Terrace culture is a big deal in the city, especially in spots like Calle Argumosa, Ribera de Curtidores, Plaza del Dos de Mayo or Plaza de Olavide. And when night falls, the place to be is El Internacional, perfect for those seeking great music sessions and top-notch cocktails.

Where to stay: Sercotel hotels in Madrid are around a 10–15 minute drive from the Movistar Arena. Add to that rooms designed for proper rest, buffet breakfasts to fuel your concert energy, and thoughtful touches like late check-out, parking or a pillow menu. If you’ve driven to Madrid and prefer to stay just outside the city, you’ll also find us in Pinto, Alcalá de Henares, Pozuelo de Alarcón and Arganda del Rey.

In Barcelona, we’ll start with a non-negotiable from recent weeks: the Sagrada Familia. Take some time to wander around and see how the newly revealed cross crowning it now looks.

Then, when you’re craving artistic inspiration, head to the Palau de la Virreina. There you can visit The Brotherhood of Metaphors, the most ambitious exhibition to date on filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. Made up of videos, artworks, writings and interviews, the exhibition explores how Godard portrayed different wars.

If you love travelling in search of bookshops, you can nurture that passion at Llibreria Finestres. Located at Carrer Diputació 249, what we love is not only its extensive catalogue, but also its café and charming inner courtyard.

For that toast you have in mind, we’d save it for Montjuïc. More specifically, at Salts Terrassa Bar Montjuïc—a terrace bar that not only offers one of the best views of Barcelona’s skyline, but also lets you look down over the iconic Montjuïc diving pool. The sunset from here is something else, and the perfect way to wrap up a day in the city.

Where to stay: Sercotel hotels in Barcelona are about a 20-minute drive from the Palau Sant Jordi. In other words, the perfect balance: giving it your all at a Rosalía concert and, less than half an hour later, being comfortably stretched out on your hotel bed. If you’ve arrived by car and prefer staying outside the city to avoid traffic on your way back, take note—we’re also in Sitges, Sant Just Desvern, Cornellà, Sabadell, El Prat, Sant Boi and Montcada i Reixac.
