About The Venue
Finca la Gaivota
Finca la Gaivota is a country estate dating back to the 1940s. It is situated in Aravaca, a residential ward (Barrio) of Madrid, in the Moncloa-Aravaca district. It is 9 kilometres from the city centre, on the other side of the Casa de Campo park.
Given its very close vicinity to the city centre, we do not recommend staying in Aravaca itself. Anyone wishing to get back into the city before the bus departure time of 2am will very easily be able to book ubers or taxis. Cabify and Bolt are the other two main taxi apps and work very well. The journey to Plaza de España should take approximately 10 mins.
Please note there is limited parking at the finca, including for taxi pick-up. We therefore encourage you to make use of the buses.
Children
We have arranged entertainment (4pm – 8pm) with La Société so the children can have their own fiesta! A kids menu will be provided.
