Hi
I am coming with my 10 yrs son for three days in the city.
I was offered two hotels:
1. Mayorzago
2. Senator Gran Via
thank you
Shai
The Senator Gran Via is right on the Northern border of the central city area. I stay at the TRYP Cibeles and Emperador, both on Gran Via. It is a good area, but a night if you go North of Gran Via there are pockets of petty drug dealing and prostitutes. Never heard of Mayorzago. I would search each on tripadvisor.com and venere.com for user reviews. Karl
My choice would be for a hotel on the paseo de Castellana instead of the Gran Via, which is good to walk and enjoy during the day time however during the night certain parts of this important road of Madrid are problamatic as stated in one of the earlier tips.
Some of the hotels tht I could recommend are Tryp Cibeles - 90 Euros taxes included. Silken Puerta de Castilla - 58 Euros, Hotel Abba Castilla 54 Euros - all prices menitoned are for the 18th of december and seen on www.atrapalo.com, which is a Spanish search engine. All these hotels have good metro and bus transport conections.
best regards
Mahesh
La puerta de Alcalá
Built by Francisco Sabatini in 1769, and ordered by Carlos III who wanted Madrid to have a monument recalling the Arch of Triunph. It´s one of the most carismatic and elegant monuments in Madrid. This door, was the ancient entrance to the city from the 'Camino de Aragón' (Path to Aragon).
I was quite surprised to see such long queues outside this shop in Sol.
Closer inspection revealed that it was a queue for lottery or lotto tickets!
During my trips to different Spanish cities, I'd seen lotto kiosks, and men selling tickets out on the streets, but not witnessed queues quite like this!
I later realised that they were probably hoping to buy the winning ticket for the Sorteo de Navidad, Gordo De Navidad or the name I was more familiar with - El Gordo, or the Fat One.
This tradition has been going on since 1812, where Spaniards, including those who don't normally gamble, buy a ticket or a few! Apparently the place to buy a ticket is Dona Manolita on Grand Via Colon, which has been open since 1931, and locals expect to win at least something in this Lucky Town.
The lotto is also played by many foreigners, but there have been quite a few scams- Where gullible people have parted with money on the promise of receiving a fortune.
The draw is made on National TV at 1100hrs in Madrid. This is considered the start of Christmas!
In 2007 it was on 22nd December.

If you're a big fan of Mr Perez (the big boss) and the boys at Real Madrid (I'm referring to Figo, Raul, Zidane, Beckham, Carlos, Casillas, Ronaldo, Guti... ya know), you would probably think of ways to buy a ticket to watch a weekend La Liga match played at the Bernabeu Stadium.
I have never been to the Bernabeu Stadium - yet. But should my favorite boys at AC Milan battle against the Real Madrid boys in the Champion's League, I WILL definitely head to the Bernabeu. Pronto. ;-D
So, if you see a lady dressed in a red and black striped shirt with a red/black scarf... screaming her lungs out inside the stadium...er... no need to call the ambulance. It's just me. ;-) You probably can't miss me. I'll stick out like a sore thumb against the sea of all-WHITE SHIRT Madrid fans!
P.S. The only person I like in Real Madrid is the captain himself - Raul Gonzalez. ;-) Cute and multi-talented!
There are dozens of emblematic buildings and monuments in Madrid, famous and less famous. I bring here the possibilty of seeing some of them linked to each other by metro.
Metro: Aeropuerto T4
Name: Nueva Terminal Aeropuerto de Madrid-Barajas Terminal 4 (T4)
Address: No need the address
Architect: Richard Rogers-Estudio Lamela
Year: 1.996-2.006
Important notices:
1. Some buildings or monuments are very close to the metro station and easy to be found whilst some others are a bit far and it's not so easy to get to them, you only have to look for the correct street or square.
2. The link shows the list of the stations of the different metro lines.
3. As I said before, there are many buildings/monuments, but I only bring here a few of them.
Absolutely wonderful service! On first glances the place looked slightly dead, but once we got behind the bar teaching the barman how to make a coke and guinness, and the owner a baby guinness, things definitley looked up! They put on U2 and The Corrs for the 5 irish girls who invaded their pub, and even provided a complimentry shot of god-only-knows-what! The waitress, from Argentina, could tell us almost everythinga bout Irish history and the troubles in the North, took photos and was just generally loca :0) We had two wonderful nights there, and I would definitley recommend the place! No dress code.... c'mon IT'S AN IRISH PUB!!
