I've booked a flight to madrid for 3 nights for a friends 50th birthday (April 12 - 15)and I've heard some negative things about the city. If anyone out there has been to Madrid....is it a nice city to go to? We'd be planning to do some sightseeing in the city - city bus tour, etc and then just maybe a flamenco show, wine bars at night, that kind of thing. I'm a bit concerned now cos I want her to have a really good time and I'm hoping that Madrid was a good choice.
