It is being forged stops half-full of July the one that possibly it will be (by poster) the best festival of music in Madrid of summer.
He is not other that Summercase, an event of airlift (all groups touch a day in Madrid and another one in Barcelona) and that brings one very good selection in story to music international one talks about (I abstain to call it independent, because many of the groups are between the most sold in the average Europe).

Madrid has a continental climate, which means that summer and winter temperatures vary notably. During the coldest months (December, January and February), the average temperature is a little below 7 degrees centigrade (though it is not unusual, especially at sundown, for temperatures to fall below zero on some days); while in the hottest months (July and August) the average is around 25º C (or nearer 40º C some days).

Therefore, to visit Madrid during the coldest months, warm clothes are necessary; while in summer, it is best to pack light, short-sleeved clothes.
Rainfall varies considerably, but in general the climate is dry, so an umbrella is not essential. It is very rare for it to snow in the city and when it happens, the snow does not normally settle. Source: esmadrid

Madrid has a Servicio de Atención al Turista Extranjero (Foreign Tourist Assistance Service, Spanish acronym SATE) that helps visitors, takes care of all procedures and provides the information that is needed should they suffer an experience of any kind that obliges them to visit a police station (lost belongings, pick pocketing, robbery, etc.)

This service is operated by a specialised team, composed by three psychologists and a philologist, who speak several foreign languages (they all speak fluent English and a second language which is either French, Japanese or Russian). Their main task is to provide foreign tourists with personal assistance regarding psychological, linguistic and legal aspects in case any incidents should occur during their stay in Madrid. Among other tasks, they are in charge of placing the report, the legal procedures, cancelling credit cards and other documents, contacting embassies and consulates or locating lost objects. The team also offer tourist information so that travellers can continue to enjoy their stay in the capital and advise tourists to prevent future incidents.

The SATE service is available at the Comisaría Centro (Central Police Station) at the Dirección General de la Policía (Leganitos, 19) and is operative every day of the week from 9 am to 10 pm 365 days a year. Source: esmadrid
