There are two versions daily of films from all over the world, and the second is in original version. With choices such as Juno, Michael Clayton, American Gangster, Charlie Wilson’s War and 27 Dresses, catch up on all the films you missed during the year. At five euros a pop or €45 for a 10-pass abono, it’s a cheap way to spend those hot summer nights. Cine de Verano, Parque de la Bombilla (Metro: Moncloa). Throughout July and August.

Summer means long days and even longer nights, and if you haven’t headed off to the coast yet, don’t miss Veranos de la Villa. The annual celebration is two months of music, dance, zarzuelas (Spanish opera-theatre) and bullfights at cultural venues around the city. This year there will be concerts by Gloria Gaynor and Macy Gray, a jazz performance by Diana Krall, a tribute to James Brown, tango, flamenco and ballet exhibitions as well as outdoor films and circus performances. The main locations will be Conde Duque, La Muralla Arabe, Sabatini Gardens and Casa de América, but see the website for a full list.
