Sports and Mexican gastronomy to bring together the entire Spanish-speaking community. That is the philosophy of MadBlue River Fest, which from October 9 to 12 will turn Madrid into a bridge between countries, transforming the language that unites us into a cultural bridge with no borders.

The Minister of Culture, Tourism and Sport, Mariano de Paco Serrano, has announced the two events that form part of this festival, Madrid Run in Spanish and Mexican Agave and Corn Festival, as part of the activities to commemorate the cultural ties and the language shared by Spanish-speaking countries. According to him, they aim to “integrate sport, culture and gastronomy into a unique experience of coexistence and celebration.”
