Hello, and greetings from the 'cold' north smile

Im going to Madrid in July, when I ordered my vacation in January, I never expected it to be as hot as it seems to be now... the temperature must be almost unbearabel ?? Is it too hot, to move around and do a lot of sightseeing in the daytime?

And does anybody have some good advice on what to do, when its this hot.. ? Thinking about visiting, retiro, casa de campo and I hear that the air should be cooler at Parque de Atracciones at evening/night time..

So if anybody have some good advice, on how to get by in the red hot Madrid please post them.. Thanx!!
