Susanna & Miguel

The place

Madrid

A capital of palaces, parks and late nights under clear skies — with royal towns, castles and the mountains about an hour away.

June is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

Madrid’s height and dry air give it a famously clear light and deep-blue skies, with long, warm sunsets over the palace and the parks on the city’s western edge. Spain keeps Central European time, so in summer the last light comes late — dinner often starts after it.
