ryder naples cup coldplay
it’s september... and that can only mean one thing – the metro game is back! Never mind your european championships and your olympics, this is the sport that bursts onto the scene again this month for every subterranean rail network traveller in Madrid. the rules are easy, though you’ll need to accumulate experience and skill to become a consistent contender. you can play the game on your way to work, university, home or wherever you are going on the metro. What you do is learn which door of which carriage will be closest to the exit at your destination or connecting station. you enter the metro train by that door and loiter by it until your stop. When you get out, you walk as fast as you can without breaking into a run and a million points go to the first person on the escalator! if you make it there first, you can scream, “yesss!” triumphantly in your head and allow yourself a smug glance back at the suckers you’ve left in your wake. if you don’t get there first, you can trundle up the escalotor, your pride in tatters, before you console yourself that it was probably better that you lost a game clearly devised by, and played by, obsessive compulsives. you’re better than that, you’re just alleviating the boredom of the daily metro ride, aren’t you? Be warned: this city can make you do strange things... Welcome to, or welcome back to, Madrid and european Vibe Magazine for our second anniversary edition! i hope you had a great summer wherever you were. i did, i got married here in Madrid to european Vibe’s lingostar! Brilliant it was. Madrid is a great city, and we’re here to help you discover it, while keeping you abreast of what is happening from month to month in music, film, books, travel, sport and culture. each month, we feature bars, a restaurant guide, a metro map and a services guide to orient you in the Mighty Bear or what the romans called Ursaria.

1 retIro It up Madrid’s number one park is huge, easy to get to and, best of all, completely free. Go on a Sunday and count how many kids you can spot trussed up in their Sunday best after church (double points for any siblings in matching outfits) or have a laugh at all the people sweltering in their rubbish Spiderman/Mickey Mouse costumes. If you really want to blend in with the madrileños, wear beige or, if you’re feeling fancy, a bit of gold (weekend beige). 2 SNog While you’re down at the Retiro you might as well do as the Spanish do and have a good old snog. Just grab your partner, find a highly visible park bench and go for it! See how long you can manage without coming up for air, or perhaps try testing how amorous you can get (bonus points for any removal of clothes!) before someone comes over to tell you off/you’re thrown out by park security. If you don’t have a lady or fella to snog, then fear not, just try our next tip which is... 3 Stroll doWN Calle lavapIéS Take a walk down this street in our favourite barrio and you will more than likely get a few lecherous comments shouted at you by willing suitors. If none of them take your fancy, head into one of the many curry houses instead and see if you can sweet-talk your way into some free poppadums. 4 explore the dark SIde If all the romance is just too much or you’ve recently had an unpleasant break-up and are feeling particularly bitter, head back to the Retiro and annoy some snogging couples by throwing twigs/stones/frozen peas at them. Make sure you’re well-hidden before you start and plan your escape route should things get nasty. 5 Be Cultured Find out when the various art galleries do their freebie days and try to pass for an arty type (beret optional). Since it’s free the place will probably be heaving with both Madrileños and foreigners alike, but while you’re queueing you can play everybody’s favourite game ’Guess the nationality’ to while away the time. 6 try the SWapSIeS market Not technically free, but if you do want to buy something from this market (unlikely) it won’t cost you more than a couple of cents. The stallholders set out their wares (i.e. tat they’ve found in a dustbin) just over the road from Atocha station most days in the early evening, and therein ensues a frenzy of bartering until the police show up and everyone gets moved along.

MIRO: eARTH An analysis of Miró’s most grounded art the thyssen-Bornemisza Museum presents a new show that proposes an itinerary around
On Saturday 13th September, Madrid is going to leave the lights on all night, and nobody is going to stay home...
if you didn’t know already, spanish people don’t really need much of an excuse to stay up all night. so, Madrid city council’s La Noche en Blanco is quite like a red rag to a thoroughbred male bovine with anger management issues and a particular hatred of rags that are red. this will be its third time in the spanish capital and the event has spread to cities all over europe and the world after starting in Paris in 2002. translated literally as ‘White Night’, La Noche En Blanco really means ‘sleepless Night’ or ‘All Nighter’, and that’s exactly what it is. from dusk till dawn, or at least from 9pm until 7am, Madrid’s streets and plazas will remain lit up as over 150 arts activities take place free of charge around the city. With the big night happening on saturday 13th september, temperatures should be pleasant for attendees, who are expected to run into the hundreds of thousands. special buses are laid on to ferry all the nocturnal culture vultures from venue to venue. the focus is on contemporary art and, while the mainstay will be art exhibitions (all the museums are free to get into) with paintings and photography, there will be all kinds of art forms from light shows to theatre and cinema to music concerts. one of the main attractions will be a tribute show to honour the master director Pedro Almodóvar. two artists will perform the most iconic songs from the soundtracks of his films. the reality of La Noche En Blanco is a little chaotic, as thousands of people out for the event will join the regular saturday night crowd in the bars at some point, but it does make for a big party atmosphere. the fact that some families decide to drag out their poor exhausted brats is pretty annoying, especially when you’re in a big queue stuck behind some children for whom the novelty of staying up late wore off about two hours ago and now they’re going to let everyone know how tired and cranky they are. the odds of getting a taxi between 4:00 and 5:30 are about the same as winning the spanish christmas Lottery, so it’s a walk, a night bus or crossing your fingers if you decide to go home between those times. if you can put up with the crowds, though, there’s some really cool stuff going on. something i like is seeing the museum-types stopping off at a bar and looking, well, about as at home as i do in a museum. But that’s the whole idea, and i already know that come that saturday, i’ll be looking at an attraction at some point making a tipsy promise with my friends to try and get to a new exhibition every week... Whatever you make of the many different attractions, this is unlikely to be the last sleepless night you spend in Madrid, but it could well be one of the more memorable ones.
about the french revolution.While outside that shelter the world starts to fall apart after millenniums of evolution of the structures that used to keep it up, the silk starts to get spoiled and it is torn into pieces due to fear and poverty.

this exhibition started in April, but now is your last chance to see this unique set of artefacts that Ancient egypt lost to the sea over a thousand years ago. A series of natural disasters washed away large lumps of canopus, the ancient port of Alexandria and the entire city of Heracleion to the bottom of the sea near the modern egyptian city of Alexandria. franck Goddio and his team had to use cutting edge technology to bring these treasures that date as far back as the seventh century Bc to the surface. As well as seeing ancient monuments, statues, cult objects, jewellery and coins, you can learn about the methods used in marine archaeology. it’s best to go on a weekday if you can.

MeTRO ROCK
if you have become a spanish pop/rock addict in your time in Madrid, or if you’d like to initiate yourself in spanish music, Madrid’s complutense university plays host to the third Metro rock festival. Moving to september to avoid competition with the giant rock in rio, this year’s Metro rock doesn’t have the big international names like franz ferdinand or My chemical romance that it has had on previous occasions, instead going for big names in spanish music. Andrés calamaro will headline, and Melendi and Los delinqüentes will also feature on the main stage. However, there are some big names in electronic music in the dance area: felix da Housecat is top of the bill there, and Alexander kowalski, stereo Mc’s, dorian and the Whip all have sets, too. Absolute bargain if you’ve got a ucM card or carnet joven. Date: 20/09/2008 Venue: complejo deportivo de cantarranas, ucM Price: 40 € (25€ with carnet ucM or carnet Joven) if this is not your bag, check out the festiVAL surforAMA at taboó in the heart of Malasaña. it’s on both friday 19th and saturday 20th and its the first surfer rock festival ever to come to Madrid. Among others, you’ll be able to catch the brilliantly named Laika & the cosmonauts. Like, totally.
