Madrid - What to Wear mid-May - 03/31/06 04:12 PM
Hi...
My wife and I will be in Madrid May 11-18. Assuming normal weather (hi-70 lo-50 as I understand it), what KINDS of clothes are appropriate for walking around town. We are middle-age, not teens or college age, but around home we tend to go for jeans, t-shirts, athletic shoes.
Specifically -- what shoes are OK, and will not scream "turisto!" Are T-shirts acceptable if the weather goes into the mid-high 70s?
In the evening, at tapas bars or simple restaurants, what is expected?
How about in museums/other sites?
And last, what about day-trips to Segovia, El Escorial and Toledo? Any tips on acceptable dress?
Thanks.
