A bit of a do: Madrid and stag weekends go hand-in-hand

Spain may have developed somewhat of a reputation as a sand and sea haven for European holidaymakers, but slap-bang in the middle is the country's capital and the jewel in Spain's crown Madrid – over 300km from any sea.

This isn't meant to be disparaging about Spain's countless coastal hot-spots, it's just that it's easy to forget that Europe's seventh most populous country actually has many great cities, as rich in history and culture as anywhere else on the continent. And for stag weekends, it's the perfect place for those seeking to combine the ‘bright lights, bit city' buzz of a major metropolis with a journey into the heart of one of the world's foremost countries. In other words, it's easy to keep everyone amused in a city such as Madrid .

For football lovers, a trip to Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium is a must, if not to take in a live ‘La Liga' match, then to go on a tour of this splendid stadium and see the club's glorious past and present first-hand.

Ensuring a Madrid stag do to remember

As with any major global city, Madrid has enough activities to captivate any stag do (more info) , and a weekend may not be long enough to take everything in. Indeed, whilst there are countless museums and art galleries in the Spanish capital, this probably won't appeal to many stag parties , in which case you'll probably want to head to where all the action is.

For dancing, there is Kapital , which is one of Spain's finest nightclubs, and you can boogie all night long to a wide range of music. However, if you want to simply be in the heart of all the action, then the Puerta del Sol district is where it's at…it is one of the busiest places in the whole city and if you're only there for a few days, it's recommended that you get a hotel near here to cut down on your travel.

Any stag party that is looking for fun, excitement and the big city buzz, should look no further than the capital city and jewel in Spain's crown, Madrid . It is guaranteed to be the perfect send-off into married life for the groom-to-be!
