About
The city's puppet theater sits inside El Retiro park: an outdoor stage with bleachers and floor space for kids up front. Each weekend a different company plays, from Madrid to Argentina, with marionettes, hand puppets and music. The Halloween weekend brings a variety show with a dancing skeleton and a skateboarding witch. Shows are short and in Spanish.
