Hello everyone,

I am going to be going to Madrid for 6 weeks starting in June and I would like to know a few things.

What do the locals wear?

Should I dress like a local?

What should a 20 year old wear?

Also what are some places I absolutely must visit.

Thank you very much for your replies!

Great timing; I'll be in Madrid from June - July. I'd imagine it'll get fairly warm around that time but I plan to do some shopping there anyway - tis the home of Zara after all. I've come across some tour sites that do bar crawls and tapas bar outings; would be a great way to meet people and discover the local go-to spots. Other than that, I'm quite clueless. :D Looking forward to the (solo, first time in Spain) adventure...

Wear linen, because it probably will be hot. Although many tourists wear them, avoid shorts if trying to look stylish. Shorts generally are frowned upon in Europe. Bring an odd jacket (maybe a 1-button) for not-so-hot evenings, because that's what many men wear to nicer establishments.

Thank you everyone for the replies!

I will try everyone's suggestions particularly the locations and restaurants.

I will try to bring the odd jacket and some summer weight khakis / chinos.

I don't have any linen shirts but I might obtain one or two.

Thank you!

Any more information on Madrid or Spain would be amazing!
