I’ve been to one Flamenco show and thought it wonderful. I must return to see another!

A walking tour, cycling tour or hop on hop off bus tour are all great ways to getting to know Madrid!

There is only so much you can fit into 3 days without it becoming too rushed and overwhelming. I think this 3 day Madrid itinerary is just perfect for a first time visit.

I hope you return for Tapas plus loads more Spanish foods!

Great ideas – Madrid is definitely a walkable city but for those who can’t its good to know there are bikes and tours!

That’s good to hear you’ve embraced the long Sunday afternoon lunches – I’m looking forward to this myself!

We’ve adopted the tradition of long Sunday afternoon lunches in both Spain and Portugal, but agree that reservations are a must.

Get off the tour bus and just walk through the different neighborhoods, eat at a cafe, and people watch!
