    Well, England and France don’t have a Barcelona. London, Paris and Rome are well known for extensive tourism, Madrid not so much. Of course there will be stuff to do and see there but I’m really asking anyone who’s been if there’s enough to justify spending 6 days there (not 5 as the last post - typo).

    Madrid has over 6 million tourists visiting a year.

    My first boss was from Madrid. His advice to anyone going was to keep Spanish hours not British ones for meals etc. And eat the Spanish way. Plenty to see and do according to people I know who have spent time there.

    @Chazz Rheinhold how was Valencia? Does it work for a beach holiday? Thinking of taking longer in Spain mixing it up half in Valencia half in Madrid.
