Has anyone traversed the area of Plaza Isabel II recently? This is near the Teatro Real. I would like to know if the construction is completed. I'm planning a trip for April and will be staying at a place that fronts the plaza.

Gracias.

I don't know about the construction, but I'm going to Madrid in April, too! Maybe we can arrange a get-together with forum members?

i will be there jan 23-25 so if no info given by then can update you.
Ihave not heard from spanish news any construction still going on, but you never know in Madrid ,construction is its middle name nowdays ::)

As of 2 weeks ago it was still surrounded with construction barriers, yes.

An April "Party with MadridMan" is a GREAT idea. Let's bring it up again (teachertraveler8, I'll give you some "homework" to remind me/us) in March.

Saludos, MadridMan

The construction in completed in July 2010, Plaza and Metro station

Thanks , Jazz. Looks like we´ll be looking elsewhere for a terraza lunch get together ... MM , I still like that place in Lago ( self cooked steak ) ... Yeah .. I know it´s not a "menú" but i guarantee any board members would love it to death !

Hmmmm.... Jazz, are you maybe thinking of the Puerta del Sol? I ask because when I passed by 2 weeks ago by the Plaza Isabel II it was surrounded by these metal barriers. The metro station was open, however.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep an eye on the thread.
As for getting together... I'll be in Madrid on 16, 17, and morning of 18 April. Hopefully one of those dates clicks with others.

Happy New Year!
