Madrid has the Embassy of India on Avenida Pío XII, two gurdwaras listed in the city (on the Paseo de Santa María de la Cabeza and in Villaverde Alto) and Indian associations; the dated event is House of Taj’s Diwali Night Madrid at Suun, Calle de Manuel de Falla 3, on Saturday 14 November (doors 21:00, buffet 21:00 to 23:30, DJ Irf from the UK; ages 17 and over, tickets on Eventbrite). The Embassy’s website carried no Diwali notice on 30 October, and gurdwaras usually keep Bandi Chhor Divas on Diwali night, so the Sikh community’s programme would be set by each gurdwara.
