A feast of flavours and rhythms in the heart of Madrid

This Saturday, May 23rd, Autocine Madrid will transform into the epicentre of Spanish gastronomy with the celebration of Tortilla Fest by Rita’s. This unique event promises an unparalleled experience that combines the best of local cuisine with live musical performances, offering attendees a full day from noon until midnight.

The festival will revolve around one of Spain's most emblematic dishes: the tortilla. Throughout the day, different restaurants will present their versions of the classic, allowing visitors to taste and compare the various offerings. The most exciting part is that the public will be the judges, voting for their favourite tortilla and turning each bite into part of the culinary competition.

As the afternoon progresses, the festive atmosphere will intensify with a great musical afternoon. Attendees will enjoy live concerts from renowned artists such as La Guardia, La Década Prodigiosa, and King África, along with DJ sets that will keep the energy high into the late hours of the night. This transition between gastronomy and music promises to create a vibrant atmosphere where everyone can enjoy.

Access to Tortilla Fest is available from 1:00 PM to 12:00 AM, allowing visitors to enjoy the event all day long. Children under 12 can enter for free, while those aged 13 and over will need to purchase a ticket. It is important to note that the venue has parking facilities and limited capacity, so arriving early is recommended to secure a good spot.

No outside food or drink will be allowed, and there will be no option to leave and re-enter once inside. These measures aim to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
