Business hours and meals
Madrid runs on a later schedule: lunch often 14:00-15:30 and dinner from 21:00. IFEMA show days start in the morning, so plan meetings before a late lunch or an evening dinner.
Language and greeting
Spanish is the main language, though English is widely spoken in the hospitality design and trade fair sectors. A simple greeting in Spanish (buenos dias) is appreciated. Business dress is smart-casual to business formal at design fairs.
Tipping and payments
Tipping is not obligatory in Madrid; rounding up or leaving 5-10 percent is common for good service. Cards are widely accepted, but carry some euros for taxis, cafes and small purchases.
Sector culture
Madrid is a major hospitality and design hub with a strong contract furniture, lighting and materials community. InteriHotel week includes showroom visits and city design events, so allow time for off-site networking beyond IFEMA.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: MAD
Book flights to Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas (MAD), the main gateway for IFEMA. Direct flights operate from most European cities and many long-haul hubs. For the 17-19 Nov 2026 edition, aim to arrive on 16 Nov and depart on 20 Nov to allow buffer for transfers and any evening show events. Confirm current baggage and ticket conditions with your airline.
Spain business travel generally requires a Schengen short-stay visa for many non-EU passport holders, while EU/EEA/Swiss citizens and several other nationalities may enter visa-free for short business trips. The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Spain.info travel portal publish the official visa and passport entry conditions.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Apply through a Spanish consulate or the official BLS Spain visa application centres; carry a passport valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure from Schengen and be ready to show proof of purpose of travel, accommodation and sufficient funds.
