Madrid, FOUND: Spain’s Capital of Culture, Comfort, and Cool

Madrid moves at its own rhythm. It’s polished but relaxed, stylish without being showy. You’ll find long, late lunches, timeless architecture, world-class museums, and plazas that seem built for people-watching.

At Found, we love Madrid for travelers who want depth and energy. It’s ideal for culture lovers, food-forward travelers, and groups seeking a diverse experience, featuring art, design, fashion, and flamenco.
