What to do in Madrid?
Wed, 03/18/2009 - 12:01
Hey All,
So Ive been trying to decide if I want to spend 3.5 days in Barcelona and 3.5 days in Madrid. Ive started planning what I want to do in Barcelona:
Park Guell, La Barcelonata -beach (hows the weather for end of April??), Port Olympic, La Rambla, Barri Gothic, Mercat de la Boqueria, El Raval nightlife, Museu Picasso, Parc de la Ciutadella, La Sagrada Familia, Tibidabo, Dali Museum, Flamenco show (better in Barc or Madrid??)
and am now starting to plan Madrid, but dont come across as much. I really want to see a bullfight but I will be flying back to the states on Sunday, which is the day they usu have bullfights. I planned to be in Madrid 4/29 wed afternoon to 5/3 sun early morning. So I was really hoping to find a bullfight in Madrid Fri/Sat, but only one I see is in Seville Sat. not sure if its worth the trip since its another 2-3 hrs down from Madrid.
Madrid: flamenco show, Reina Sofa, Prado Museum, and of course the nightlife which I hear is world class. am i missing anything?
all help appreciated, thanks!
I am traveling for 15 days
Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Madrid
Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Madrid

The Prado, for me, was amazing.
I had taken an art history class previously, and it was incredible to see so much famous art in one spot.
I only ever saw flamenco in Barcelona, but it certainly was a worthwhile experience.
Real Flamenco is an Andaluscian thing…Seville would be a good place. Word of warning: there are a lot of touristy flamenco places that look more like cheesy vegas-style acts rather than real flamenco. Ask the locals where there is real flemenco
