Dessert Crawl

Madrid, Spain · 8 August 2025 · Free

An August evening exploring some of the best treats Madrid has to offer, ice cream very much included.

Big group photo indoors, fans and drinks in hand, everyone smiling.

The plan was to explore some of the best treats Madrid has to offer, definitely including some ice cream to cool down in the heat. It was a Friday evening in August 2025, 6:30pm to 9pm, and it sold out.

Everyone paid for what they chose, and sharing was encouraged. The evening took in gelato counters, a white-tiled cake shop and a market food hall, with slices of cake, a matcha dessert stack and a lot of gelato cups held up for the camera along the way. At one stop the whole group squeezed in for a photo, fans and drinks in hand.

It was a free event, with donations welcome, and anyone who wanted to bring friends asked them to sign up too.

It was part of the Madrid group, and came between the Pre-Pride Picnic in June and the first weekends later that summer.

What people said afterwards:

"Loved it. So chill, and everyone was of the same mentality, just looking to chat, hang out and make friends."

"Very nice, really enjoyable and something different."
