San Isidro wraps up on Sunday, May 17, with a day that serves as the perfect epilogue: less crowded than the patron saint’s day, but featuring a lineup of free concerts that perfectly capture the spirit of the festivities. Spanning the Pradera de San Isidro, the Plaza Mayor, and the Jardines de Las Vistillas, the lineup ranges from traditional cuplé and elegant rumba to melancholic pop and DJ sets to wrap up the final night with dancing. It’s the perfect day for those who want to make the most of San Isidro until the very end without the crowds of the main days.
San Isidro Meadow: guitars and emotion to bring the curtain down
La Pradera reserves the festival finale for two acts that are making a big splash:
- La Paloma (8:00 p.m.)
At 8:00 p.m., as the sun begins to set over the meadow, La Paloma kicks off the final block of concerts. The Madrid-based band has become one of the city’s leading acts in rock and guitar-driven indie. - Xavibo (9:30 PM)
At 9:30 p.m., Xavibo takes the stage, bringing a more intimate and emotional touch to the closing of the Pradera. His sound moves between melodic rap, pop, and a very personal sensibility in his lyrics, which speak of vulnerability, bonds, and shared pain.
Plaza Mayor: flamenco and festivities for all ages
The Plaza Mayor also bids farewell to the festivities with a double dose of art in the style of flamenco and the Mediterranean:
- Las Migas (8:00 p.m.)
At 8:00 p.m., Las Migas kick things off—the all-female quartet that has been reinventing flamenco for years through subtlety and a fusion of genres. - Flamenco Party with Montoya & Carmona (9:30 PM)
At 9:30 p.m., Montoya & Carmona’s Juerga Flamenca takes the stage, raising the energy level several notches. Here, clapping, rhythm, and a party spirit reign supreme: rumbas, covers, improvisations, and that authentic tablao vibe brought to Madrid’s grand plaza.
Las Vistillas Gardens: a final traditional vermouth and nighttime dancing
Las Vistillas, true to its role as a stage with a neighborhood soul, offers a Sunday that starts off with a leisurely afternoon and ends on the dance floor:
- Olga María Ramos (2:00 p.m.)
At two in the afternoon, Olga María Ramos provides the soundtrack for San Isidro’s final vermouth. The daughter of one of the great names in Madrid cuplé, she keeps that tradition alive through humor, mischief, and a strong connection with the audience. - Flashback with Ochoymedio DJ Set (8:30 PM)
Later that evening, at 8:30 PM, Flashback kicks off with the Ochoymedio DJ Set. The legendary Madrid club brings its spirit to Las Vistillas: indie, pop, generational classics, and the kind of set that takes you on a journey through decades of songs without ever stopping the dance.
