1 review of El Cuartel by City Lights

The best outdoor cinema in Madrid

Cuartel by City Lights is an amazing multi-disciplinary space which takes place in the vast interior courtyards of the Conde Duque Cultural Center (it was once a military barracks so you can get an idea of the massive parade-sized interior plazas). Cuartel by City Light's main claim to fame is that of an al-fresco summer cinema during the months of July, August, and September. In the evenings, massive screens are erected and chairs are set out so that the public can enjoy a mix of recent blockbusters and timeless classics under the clear Madrid sky.


However, Cuartel by City Lights isn't just an outdoor cinema. They also have a sprawling and stylishly-decorated terrace area full of shaded tables and benches for moviegoers and the public in general to come and have drinks and light tapas in the torchlight. They occasionally put on themed culinary nights and benefits which have, in the past, drawn the likes of Spain's top Michelin-starred chefs.

Outdoor cinema is a classic summertime tradition in Madrid and Cuartel by City Lights is by far my favorite place to experience it. Make sure to order your tickets ahead of time on the cinema's website and check out the calendar for special nights when they show creature features, musicals (tons of cringe-inducing fun when the entire audience sings along), and other special events.
