Let's do lunch in Madrid, Thursday June 29th, 1:45pm.

So far esperanza (and her daughters) and I will be attending. Everyone is welcome. Put-in-here with lunch location suggestions.

Saludos, MadridMan

Someone should bring a camera take a few photos to share with those who are not lucky to go.

Bill

Yippee!!! I'll be there, count me in and my hubby too!

Where will it be?!

See you there.

If you decide to go to the Chueca area, like in other MadridMan events (Bazaar), remember that on that date the Gay Pride Week festivities will be in their efervescence. Can be colourful.

REAllY!? Didn't know that. That's good information to have. Maybe, instead, we'll choose someplace "south" of the Gran Vía in that case.

laduque, glad I'll get to see you and your husband!

Anyone want to "put in" their restaurant suggestions?

Saludos, MadridMan

Yeah! This is going to be fun! Laduque, I am so glad you can make it next Thursday too! Being Gay Pride week should make the city even more colorful for sure. MadridMan, is there any place that YOU particularly like? A place with good aire conditioning would be extremely nice!

Well, to be true, the biggest attendance events will be held from Friday evening to Sunday evening. On Saturday evening, half a million people is expected in the Puerta de Alcala-Gran Via-Plaza de España parade.

I have taken a glance on the Madrid Gay Pride Official Website, MADO (English version available, but less updated than the Spanish one, I'm afraid) and the most attractive event on Thursday will be the "Guys on Heels Race" at Calle Pelayo (7:30p)

esperanza, I may take you all to the good-ol'-standby restaurant, "La Sanabresa" on Calle Amor de Dios. I haven't been there in awhile - not since Merecedes and I went there in the spring (or was it winter still?). I'll give it some more thought. I'll make a decision and post it on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Saludos, MadridMan

I was also thinking of La Finca de Susana, a place that you all have been to before, but I haven't been there. I don't know La Sanabresa either, so whatever you decide will be great.

Either is great with me too, just post address and some directions too.
