Malakids! Madrid's Urban kids festival returns this weekend

This weekend Malakids festival is back in Madrid with an action packed calendar full of fun concerts, workshops and drop in sessions for kids around the Malasaña and Conde Duque area! Starting tomorrow I was looking forward to attending one of the first concerts Paulix and the ATTG kids but OH NO!
