Let's be honest
Great city. Plenty of plans. Still missing your people?
You know where to get a good coffee. You've found your gym. But when Friday comes around, you're still wondering who to text.
Maybe you've tried a few meetups. Had a good night. Swapped Instagram handles. Then nothing. Meeting people isn't the same as having people in your life.
You don't need more contacts. You need a reason to meet again.
A Sunday hike. A dinner that runs late. A message asking if you're free on Tuesday. Golden Guiris brings the plans and the people together. You bring yourself.
Still planning the move? Start here.
Visas, flats, tax and all the bits nobody puts on Instagram. Find our recommended partners and practical guides in one place.
- Visa & immigration
- The gestor & NIE
- Health insurance
- Spanish lessons
- Finding a flat

What Golden Guiris actually is
The plans get you out. The people bring you back.
One membership connects the private WhatsApp and the events. Meet in person, stay in touch, make the next plan.

Anyone up for sunset padel in Retiro at 7?

Booked the Asturias trip. Lit. 🌊
The chat
Less scrolling. More doing.
Ask who's up for dinner, find an activity partner or share a local recommendation. City and interest groups make it easier to find the right conversation.
The events
Something to do. Someone to do it with.
Dinners, hikes, pádel and trips. A mix of lively nights and quieter plans, so you don't have to be a party person to find your place.
Know who's building what. Start a conversation.
Browse community profiles, find shared interests and send an introduction. Your next collaborator might already be here.
For founders, freelancers and people changing careers who want useful connections, not another feed to scroll.
Free members get 1 connection request per day. Golden Guiris: unlimited.
Make your profile and connect with other Guiris

Which Guiri are you?
However you got here, there's a place for you.
The Rebuilder
New city. New chapter. Now for the people.
You've made the move, or you're starting again. You want someone to grab a coffee with, explore the city with, and text when you've got good news.
The Builder
Your work is going places. Your social life should too.
Work, gym, home, repeat? Meet founders, freelancers and curious people over dinner, not another sales pitch. There's more to you than your job title.
The Creative
Find people who get excited about your latest idea.
You make things. You want to meet people who do too, whether that's a film, a business or a wildly ambitious side project. Start with a conversation, see where it goes.
The Settler Going Deeper
You know the city. You want a closer circle.
Friends have moved away. Life has changed. Or you simply want to meet someone new. You don't need to be new in Spain to start a new friendship.
What you actually get
More ways to meet. More reasons to return.
Private WhatsApp community
Find a dinner plan, ask a local question or get a game of pádel going. Private city and interest groups keep the conversation going between events.
Member-only events
Dinners, hikes, parties and trips with other members. Shared plans give you something to talk about before you've even learned everyone's name.
Member event discounts
50% off our biggest events (yes, including the Christmas party) and early access before they sell out to the public.
Access to the Guiri Dating Pool
Meet other singles in Madrid through real profiles. Browse, send an interest and see who's interested back, without endless swiping.

Real members
They came for the events. They stayed for each other.
This group brings me back to the excitement of my early days here, meeting people from all over the world.

London → Madrid (25 years)
Golden Guiris has become my go-to community whenever I'm casting for creative projects. It's an absolute goldmine of interesting, diverse, and talented people.
Yussef
Argentina · Filmmaker
For the first time, I felt small — but in a good way. It sparked a hunger in me to live bigger and try new things. What made it special was how welcomed I felt.

Golden GuiriMateo

Golden GuiriSimon
England → Madrid (26 yrs) · Journalist · TV voice
A journalist from England who came to Madrid for a weekend 26 years ago and never really left. You might recognise his voice on the AVLO train, or his face on Spanish TV talking about the royals. He found GdM during one of life's harder chapters, and found a lot more than he expected.

Golden GuiriYussef
Lebanon · Spain · Argentina · Filmmaker
A filmmaker with Lebanese, Spanish, and Argentine roots who came to Madrid to open a production office and ended up making it home. After years of bouncing between cities, he found what he was actually looking for: real connections and a place that made him feel alive again.
Golden GuiriMariana
Monterrey → Madrid · Brow & makeup artist
A brow and makeup artist from Monterrey, Mexico who made a spontaneous move to Madrid in 2022 and never looked back. She came looking for a bigger world, found her people, and has been connecting them with each other ever since.
