Avolta introduces The Corner by Real Madrid to Spain's Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport

Leading global travel experience player Avolta has partnered with Spanish football club Real Madrid to introduce a new premium gastronomic and retail concept.

The Corner by Real Madrid will be present in the duty-free stores at Terminals T1 and T4 of Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, combining a F&B offer with official Club merchandise. The partnership includes an additional 11 spaces within duty-free stores across Spanish airports, where travelers will also find official Real Madrid merchandise, and the concept will roll out globally across the Avolta network.

With this move, Avolta – Aena’s principal retail operator – “reinforces its strategy to make the journey itself extraordinary, as well as bringing a strong sense of place to the airport environment for the enjoyment of travelers”.

Football enthusiasts and fans of Real Madrid will recognize that the bar – the centerpiece of the modern and elegantly crafted 100-square-meter outlet – is inspired by the silhouette of the newly renovated Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The outlet offers guests quality dishes and tapas as well as a wide selection of takeaway products.

Quality and proximity are said to define the bar’s all-day menu, serving local produce representative of traditional Spanish gastronomy. The takeaway menu includes sandwiches of local and international inspiration, as well as a variety of salads to complete the Mediterranean offering, including vegetarian and vegan options.

Adjacent to The Corner by Real Madrid, a selection of the Club’s most sought-after official merchandise will be available to purchase, complemented by a larger assortment in 11 of Avolta’s main duty-free stores across Spain, including the Club’s sports products, equipment and gifts.

Ángeles Montesdeoca, CEO of Avolta in Spain, said, “The Corner by Real Madrid is the spearhead of a unique collaboration between Avolta and the Club. With this concept, Avolta gives wings to our strategy of combining retail with a very high-quality restaurant offer for travelers in duty-free stores, creating spaces with strong local feeling and surprising our guests.”
