Hello all,
I have recently realized that I will be in Madrid on March 11, 2006. Our vacation happened to fall in this time period because of the Spring Break schedule in The States. My boyfriend & I will be flying into Madrid on March 9 & I was then planning on flying to Barcelona on March 11 on Vueling airline (because tickets are dirt cheap - 10 Euro!). I have an apartment reserved in Barcelona that night. I really want to see the famous dance outside the church on that Sunday, the 12th & the apartment charges extra for arriving on a Sunday. This is why the travel on the 11th is the plan.
Do any of you anticipate any problems with this? Will businesses be closed on the 11th? I read that it is considered a national holiday... Does this mean museums, etc. will be closed?!? As you can see, my Madrid schedule only accounts for the 9, 10 & 11. I am very much looking forward to visiting Madrid & want to be able to visit as much as I can...
Thank you in advance for any information you may have.
Katrina
