Hello all,

Those of you who remember me know that I am logging in from Turkey, I work for a company in the education industry and my employer will be sending a group of Turkish teachers of English to Madrid April 20 - 25 for some teacher training. The schedule they have lined up currently have the teachers having free days etc from Good Friday to Easter Sunday and I mentioned to them that though I haven't been to Spain in spring in 20 years, that I thought that those days everything may be closed. Can you all give me some idea of how open shops and such would be those days in 21st century Madrid? Will our teachers be able to browse? Get into attractions?

Gracias!
