Adventsbasar

The Adventsbasar (Advent Bazaar) brings an authentic slice of German Christmas tradition to Madrid's elegant Paseo de la Castellana. Organized by the German Evangelical Church community (Friedenskirche), this intimate market operates for just three days each year, making it one of Madrid's most exclusive and sought-after holiday events. Unlike the city's larger commercial markets, the Adventsbasar offers a genuine German Weihnachtsmarkt experience with handcrafted advent crowns, traditional ornaments, and the warm hospitality of the German community in Spain. The market features carefully curated stalls selling authentic German Christmas crafts, homemade baked goods, and festive decorations that you won't find elsewhere in Madrid. Visitors can warm up with steaming mugs of Glühwein (traditional German mulled wine) and sample authentic German Christmas specialties while browsing unique handmade items. The church courtyard setting creates an intimate, cozy atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with Madrid's grander Christmas markets. A popular raffle adds an element of excitement, with proceeds supporting the church community. Due to its limited three-day schedule and growing popularity, advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended, with entry including a complimentary drink or food item to enhance your authentic German Christmas market experience.
