have a great time in Madrid.

hmmm looking these things up now, very nice.... Gracias!

Last time we went, we accidentally coincided with something called Noche en Blanca, will there be any random open air things like that going on?

I´m a walkaholic too ! In a city like Moscow where I just came from , it´s almost impossible . The city is enormous . In Madrid , I live on the borders of the centre ( East ) in Barrio Salamanca . It takes me 30 minutes to walk to dead centre ( Puerta del Sol ) .. And it´s a great walk . You see and experience so much more by walking , though with a 10 year old in tow that may be more tricky .

I took my 6 1/2 year old to Faunia this past summer with the whole family and she is still talking about it....This, coming from a girl who has passes to the wonderful San Diego (CA) zoo and we go all the time.
I LOVED Faunia too!

Hi all!

It's been ages since I checked in here, I have since changed jobs and I am so busy that I hardly ever get online any more....

Anyway the big hit was the Egyptian Temple, the little one thought that was the coolest thing ever. People bringing kids, keep that in mind!
