I'm new to this site and new to Madrid - never been before, but as it is a prime destination for the airline I work for, and a route I partially administrate, I thought I'd check it out personally and sample some of the hostel accomodation rather than large hotels. We're booked into
Hostal Chelo 8th-14th April (I'll post any comments, MadridMan) - and be assured I am also passing on your site to fellow-employees and passengers(!) because of how useful everyone finds it, but I understand it's "Holy Week" in Madrid.
Could anyone tell me what this involves in Spain, specifically in Madrid? Someone mentioned to me there would be many celebrations, shows, etc. Is this true, or is it a more reserved celebration?
