"I came to Madrid for the concerts and stayed for the vibes," Ed Sheeran (34, from Halifax) remarked, using a popular social media twist to share a snapshot of his recent weekend in the Spanish capital. The British musician captivated a total of 140,000 fans over two electrifying nights at the Metropolitano stadium.

The video he posted gives a glimpse into his time in Madrid, where he immersed himself in the city's essence like any other enthusiastic tourist. Sheeran graced the stage in simple black attire, featuring a souvenir-style t-shirt emblazoned with "Madrid", a moment captured by journalist Carlos Marcos in EL PAÍS.

A highlight of Sheeran's Madrid visit was dining at StreetXO, the acclaimed restaurant of chef Dabiz Muñoz. The footage shows him enjoying the vibrant atmosphere at the El Corte Inglés location on Serrano street, alongside the renowned chef. As he roamed the city, Sheeran indulged in a double beer at a bar, savored a coffee, and even tried his hand at making churros at Churrería Madrid 1883, the city's oldest churro establishment.

The video also showcases iconic Madrid spots, including the lively Tupperware bar in Malasaña, the historic Dos de Mayo square, and the Official Irish Pub chain, where Sheeran playfully kissed one of their posters. He was also spotted autographing a concert poster on the streets and appreciating a street violinist, along with a person dressed as a Transformers character.

Set to the tune of "Saphire", his video drew various reactions, with notable comments from the Community of Madrid's president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who warmly welcomed him with "In Madrid, at home." Artist Manuel Carrasco added his own touch with heart and clapping emojis, while Cristina Pedroche, after dining at her partner's restaurant, commented, "After eating at StreetXO, you'll have even more energy."
