 Concert in Plaza del 2 de Mayo by agarcia
During that weekend, there are plenty of cultural activities in the city. Among my favorites, I'll put the free concerts at Plaza del 2 de Mayo (Malasa?a district). Live music, tasty and grassy food, plenty of beer... My kind of place! :-D Leave a Comment Other Contact: Plaza 2 de Mayo. Tribunal Metro

FORUM REPLY.
I have been in Madrid in May as it is a fine period for the weather between cold winter and super hot summer. No particular problem with the Feria di San Isidro; Madrid is always full of life.
It seemed to me that the festivities turned a lot about the daily bullfights at the famous arenas of Las Ventas. Toreros and "aficionados" all over our hotel and Las Ventas full booked. The Feria di San Isidro is a mix of a religious feast on 15 May and a most important bullfighting festival from 7/05 - 31/05/2009.
Best is to stay away in the late afternoon from the subway lines 2 and 5 who bring the crowds to Plaza de LAS VENTAS.

The 31st of December of each year... all spanish people is pending of this clock.....
We have the tradition to eat one grape with each of the 12 clock?s strokes, if you are able to finish the twelve grapes before the last stroke you will have good luck in the following months.
Mos of the people meet in this square for the moment... but by own experience, if you really want this to happend... do not go to a busy square wher eyou can not here the clock strokes lol ...
It has happened to me twice, on the 2000 here in plaza del sol, and this year on Marbella, at plaza de los Naranjos, where the discjokey was drunk and did not advice the rest of the people lol
But I have to admit something .... this year I know my wish is going to be true.. as there are lots of chances that it will happend....
Keep fingers crosseddddddd!!!
UPDATES It became true ...... Leave a Comment
