In the month of August, the pueblo of Hoyo de Manzanares, just north of Madrid, holds wonderful entertainment in the Plaza, twice per week (now on Saturdays and Sundays -- it changes, so check), starting at dusk. Saturdays they will have a current big-ticket motion picture, shown by a marvelous traveling projection truck, with a 1950's era projector, decked out like a Cadillac circa 1957 on an acid chrome trip). The other night they have first-rate cultural entertainment from all over. Once we saw a top Russian Cossack dance troupe, another time a ballet company, another, great flamenco. The locals pick up their chairs at a door near the corner of the plaza (actually our apartment's front door was the next door on the floor, so we got the best space in line!), and take them across the street to the plaza, where a large stage with lights is set up, and for movies a white cloth. EVERYONE comes, the kids get noisy in the back, niños run about, play on the stage before and after (Spainsh children are spoiled to a fault, nothing is too outrageous!), and the mountain sky is asparkle with a million stars. There is no charge, and I think it is the best entertainment to be had anywhere near Madrid. Bring a shawl, sweater or jacket, Hoyo is in the mountains and gets quite chilly after dark, even in August.
To get to Hoyo de Manzanares, go to the Moncloa Bus Terminal (Metro lines 9 and 6, I think) and take the 161 bus to Hoyo (a couple of Euros), when you arrive, the Plaza is behind the large stone building (Centro Cultural) to your front and left behind the parking lot as you get off the bus (the parking lot is behind the bus stop shelter). Just ask anyone, it is less than half a block away. If you get their early, there are several restaurants and bars nearby, or walk around the pueblo. It is tiny and beautiful.
The twin peaks behind the plaza are the "Picazzos," and you can clearly see the "Tortuga" with its shell and head sticking out to their right. Hoyo is wonderful, we lived there for over a year, had THE BEST landlords, they are still our good friends, like family, and we hated to move (but had to, needed a larger place, and Hoyo didn't have anything for us at the time). Now we live in Colmenar Viejo, the next town east, larger, but nice, and visit about once a month. Once you experince it, you will love it too.
