Celebrate a stylish Christmas at Madrid’s Las Rozas Village

Under half an hour from the artistically-minded Madrid, this boutique shopping destination is ideal for some seasonal sophistication

Few cities do Christmas as stylishly as Madrid. Spain’s central capital, the elegant boulevards and manicured parks are transformed as December rolls around — eco-friendly lights and decorative displays strung up by renowned designers and architects. It’s as sophisticated as the season gets.

And, just 25 short minutes away by car, this sleek, chic vision of Christmas continues. Las Rozas Village, a boutique retail destination in The Bicester Village Shopping Collection, gives the city itself a run for its money with decorations, events and — above all — shopping.

Over 100 luxury boutiques are to be found in Las Rozas Village, from Sandro to Hackett. And, inside each and every one of these shopping destinations, you will find discounts of up to 60% off these world-leading brands’ authentic previous seasons’ collections.

It’s the perfect place to spend a day on the approach to Christmas. If you’re looking for gifts, there are deals to be found in Coach, where you can currently enjoy an additional 40% off selected items, or luxury watch boutiques including Tag Heuer and Montblanc.

Of course, you can also treat yourself. To prepare for the oncoming winter, why not head to Roberto Verino for some of the very best in knitwear, or Scalpers for a new overcoat? Adolfo Dominguez will sort you out on the scarf and shoe front — and Levi’s can offer you out a new tough pair of jeans.

But shopping, even in an environment as enviably chic as this, can be tiring. So where better to refuel this festive season than Cafe & Tapas, Las Rozas Village’s on-site restaurant? Try a hearty meal of gnocchi or turkey alongside a bowl of seasonal ice cream, or get in early and start your day on scrambled eggs with bacon, brie cheese and dried tomato.

There’s also a Starbucks on-site to ensure you’re sufficiently caffeinated this Christmas to seek out the best buys at Las Rozas Village.

So, if you’re heading to the artistically-minded Madrid this Christmas, and fancy furthering the sophistication of your festive season, Las Rozas village is the place to be.
