In many respects, itīs wonderful to visit Madrid (and even Barcelona) during Semana Santa because the cities seem almost empty, thereīs little traffic, lots of parking available, and itīs much quieter. On the down-side, some restaurants, stores, and attractions close too.
As Fernando says, itīs more difficult to find lodgings in the smaller villages around Spain during this time.
Saludos, MadridMan
