1:30pm Wednesday, April 7 looks good to me for lunch.
Let's meet at 11:30am at door 47 on Calle Concha Espina and Castellana - to get the Real Madrid tour tickets, according to pedmar. That's at the southwest corner of the stadium. Sound good to everyone?
The above is more of a concrete location because there are three BERNABEU metro exits/entries.
Not sure how long the tour will take. Maybe it's only an hour. Anyone know? If shorter, we could meet later, but unless someone speaks up we'll meet at 11:30 on Wednesday.
Saludos, MadridMan

I'm now looking at Google Maps Street View and door 47 IS NOT on-or even near- the corner of Concha Espina and Castellana. I can't find it, in fact, but it's not there.

Thanks Billy . That´s great news . I hate guided tours , though sometimes you have to do them . I am going crazy looking forward to this .. Nearly 6 years in Madrid and I´ve always promised myself I´d organise it . I used to go to Twickenham ( For non-Brits , it´s the national stadium for rugby .. 82,000 capacity ) to see international games . When you walk into the stadium it literally takes your breath away . And the singing and the noise .. just fantastic . Santiago Bernabéu is just over 83,000 capacity . It´s going to bring back some great memories . Oh and remember that it´s only days now until the HUGE game with Barça .. to decide the championship . El Estadio Santiago Bernabéu will be on high alert tomorrow !

Here's what you will see:
PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE STADIUM The Tour starts in one of the 8 panoramic lifts at the stadium, giving visitors an idea of the greatness of the team and the Club.
TROPHY ROOM European Cups, Intercontinental Cups, League titles, Spanish Cups, UEFA Cups, Spanish and European Super Cups, and many more titles make up the most impressive track record any football club has ever had. The trophy exhibition includes videos of legendary fixtures, historical kits, pictures of players from the first team, boots and equipment and a vast array of club-related memorabilia.
WALK AROUND THE PITCH You will be able to see just how spectacular our stadium is from the ground.

DRESSING ROOMS The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium has some of the most modern dressing rooms in the world. Our players wish for the privacy of their dressing room to be respected, so the tour only includes the visitors' dressing room, where you can imagine the excitement players feel before and after a game at the Bernabeu.
PRESS ROOM Press conferences take place here once matches are over.
