Madrid:Problems with site seeing March 4-1 - 02/19/03 02:54 PM
We are scheduled to leave Atlanta for Madrid on March 4th to spend a week there and then down to Seville for a week. My question is this... (especially appreciate answeres from anyone currently in Madrid)... with the huge demonstrations that have rocked European cities the last couple of weeks... and based on the conventional wisdom that the Iraq attack will occur about the same time we are leaving... will we be able to properly see Madrid or will we only be getting into a crowd of protesters that will ruin our trip?
Note that it is not the fear of terrorism that may deter us. We were in Russia in August 2001 and went to Hungary and Czech Republic March 2002. Also we were in Turkey, Greece and Israel the when the bombing started in Kosovo ... we have been to 56 countries in our travels and have been to Barcelona 4 times... we just don't want to have a nice trip ruined!
Please advise...
