Madrid Welcome to Madrid

Airfares The trip for a 2-way ticket is $694 from Orlando to Madrid, Spain from Orbitz. The flight leaves on October 15,2008 and returns October 22,2008. The Flight is first class.

Hotel For hotel I have chosen the paradores of spain. A trip to the Paradors is not only a trip through the territory of Spain but also through its history, from the later Middle Ages through the modern architectural styles of the twentieth century: It is a trip we recommend heartily.

Planning Day 1 Get off the plane and go to the hotel and unpack every thing. Day 2 Wake up at 2pm and go to the photo tour at el prado. Then go back to The hotel and watch t.v. Day 3 Go to a museum and look at all the art. Day 4 Today is the day to go to fiestas and festivals. Day 5 This is the day of sight seeing

Food Well for breakfast I will eat in a bar and most madrileños have little more than a coffee and a sweet roll or croissant. And for lunch the first course can be as light as a bowl of soup of a salad, or as hearty as a bowl if lentils with chorizo. And the second course will be fish and meat with a side salad. And for the third course will be desert will often be a choice of fruit or some sort of pudding.

Transportation I have chosen to take the metro for transportation. Madrid transport conditions have improved greatly in the last 10 years. The metro network is now among the best in Europe. The new airport is huge, modern and connected to the city by metro, and the high speed trains link now most of the important cities in Spain.
