Overview:
Liga Champions Real Madrid at the amazing Bernabeu Stadium is possibly the top spectacle in international sport. Atletico also have a great tradition and a spectacular stadium. Either provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Game Times and Dates:
Most home games are on Sunday evenings, but if the TV rights are bought (especially for league leader games), matches can be changed to the Saturday night. You'll need to book to stay in Madrid both the Saturday and Sunday nights (so you can enjoy the amazing nightlife!), and we will advise on the kick-off time and day the week before. If this clashes with other activities, we can normally change these around the football.

Some Facts & Figures:
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid were the founding members of FIFA and have been European Champions a record 9 times and have also won 30 La Liga titles. The club also operates a reserve football team, Real Madrid Castilla, and a successful basketball team, Real Madrid Baloncesto and are trying to sponsor a rugby team, CRC Madrid Noroeste and a Formula One team. Real Madrid is unique in that, unlike most football clubs, it has been owned and operated only by its members (socios) since 1902. On December 23, 2000, FIFA declared Real Madrid the best club of the twentieth century. Throughout its history, the club has acquired a lot of nicknames. The first ones were los merengues, because of the white dessert meringue, and los blancos. Both simply referred to the club's legendary all-white strip and remain the most common to this day. In the 1970s, the nickname los vikingos became popular, due to the signings of several northern European players. Most recently, the media called the club los galácticos, referring to club's tendency to sign the most famous players in the world.

Atletico Madrid:
During their history, the club have been known by a number of nicknames including los colchoneros or the mattresses due to their first team stripes being the same colours as old-fashioned mattresses. During the 1970s they became known as los indios. This was allegedly due to the club signing several South American players after the restrictions on signing foreign players were lifted. However there are a number of counter theories which claim they were so named because their stadium is camped on the river bank or because los indios were the traditional enemy of los blancos, the whites. The latter nickname refers to the club's city rival Real Madrid.

Overview:
If you're struggling the morning after a heavy night out, there's no better way to shake off your hangover than with a relaxing round of golf. Don your best Pringle sweater, pull on your plus fours and head out onto the links.

A great way to get a bit of competition going amongst your group, we recommend tough shot penalties for anyone found cheating - a double vodka for kicking your ball out of the rough and a triple tequila for fiddling the scorecard. Although this is only a 9 hole course, the usual golf etiquette applies: replace divots, let smaller groups play through and don't scream obscenities when your mates are half way through their backswings. 

All of the holes are par 3 so it's more a game of accuracy and skill rather than booming drives down long fairways, so get your short game in order and shoot a score Sergio Garcia would be proud of. 

Included:
- Clubs and two balls
- Guide
- Transport

Duration:
You'll be on the course for around 2.5 hours

Extras:
If you lose your balls, replacements will cost €1 a go.

Overview:
This is a great afternoon out and a very traditional way to celebrate a special occasion in Spain.

While this event is not mortally dangerous, there is a risk of minor injury that may occur if you're unlucky enough to have a collision with the baby bull - just think twice before wearing red.

You'll also have a great Spanish lunch sitting outdoors which will include beer and/or wine, depending on your preference.

Duration:
- Allow around 4-5 hours for this event

Included:

Note:
- Baby bull running is carried out with a young cow or bull. This is not mortally dangerous like "real" bull sports. The animal is not hurt. Participants must be prudent and sober however, as there is a risk of bruising and accidents such as (but not limited to) falling and twisting an ankle.

Overview:
You´ll play a game of polo from kayaks and have an enormous laugh trying to balance in the water (expect to get ducked a few times!).

It's a game like water polo but on small kayaks. Two teams with around 5 players each play against each other. Goals hang at both ends above the water. The idea of the game is to outscore the opposite team.

Paddlers move the ball by throwing it, dribbling it, passing it to a team member, or shooting it at the opposing team's goal. The object is to force the player in possession to lose control of the ball. The opposing player can also choose to block passes and shots with a paddle, as the ball is being passed or shot.

The more the game absorbs you, the less you remember to keep your balance and only a few brave players may remain dry.

Included:
- Public transport to nearby park for kayaking.
- Guide
- Instructor

Duration:
- Allow around 3 hours for this event

Located in the mountains overlooking the city, this is one of the biggest water parks in Europe, so slip on your favourite pair of speedos and prepare to get wetter than an otter's pocket.

The park features an adventure lake, wave machines, enormous water slides and thrilling downhill courses, and it's the perfect way to have a laugh and keep cool when the sun is blazing. It's like being at a beach resort but in the middle of the mountains so whereas you might fry in the heat on the beach, the park is cooled by winds sweeping off the mountains.   

If you've had one drink too many the night before, are a bit of a wimp or are allergic to water, you can chill at one of the complex's bars and top up your sun tan whilst your thrill-seeking mates ride the rapids.

Overview:
There's nothing quite like a bit of cut throat rivalry with your mates and this type of high end karting, at Madrid's national championship circuit, encapsulates it perfectly. It’s said that nice guys come last, so the question here is: do you have the competitive instinct, controlled aggression and, above all, the kahoonas required to finish first? Or are you happy to gaze meekly down the tailpipe of your pal as he out-foxes you up the inside and sails onto the chequered flag and glory?

The Karts:
The karts are fully specked outdoor pro-karts capable of speeds around 70 mph.

The Track:
This snaking 900m track is a highly challenging circuit designed to test championship drivers (and is where they run the national championships).

Overview:
Hammam means "spreader of warmth". It is the word given to the sensual bathing retreat that evolved over thousand of years and traces its roots back to the Roman thermae.

This purpose-built Hammam is run according to the ancient traditions of an Arab bathhouse. Sublime silence is the rule and you'll have a 90 minute session, including an all over body massage.

The Hammam is designed to allow the body to relax when it comes in contact with water. Alternating between hot and cold pools stimulates blood circulation and toxins are literally steamed away by the aromatic vapour in the atmosphere.
