Madrid's fiesta par excellence is one of the few chances you'll get to see madrileos take a break from business to dress in traditional 19th-century costumes to head for the fair to visit San Isidoro's chapel. You'll see theatre shows, traditional dancing, pop, rock, folk and flamenco concerts in Plaza Mayor and Las Vistillas. The big day is the Sunday closest to May 15, when the Spanish Army serves an enormous batch of cocido madrileo (typical tripe stew) for the masses in Plaza Mayor.
