I would only add the antiques/junk market in the El Rastro area on Sundays (I think it is on Sundays). But aside from Madrid, if Gabby has a day or two to spare, she can take advantage of the excellent AVE high speed train and go down to Seville for a day. Hotels down there are cheaper than in Madrid, as is the food, and it is a wonderful city. The train from Madrid takes 2:25 hours to cover the 550-600 km and there is one every hour. If you think she might be interested in something like that, let me know and I will send you Seville tips and some links off-list. Hi Nathan, Thanks for the info. yes she likes to shop the markets for antiques etc. She will be there for a month, so I expect she will get out to see the area when ever possible. Please do send tips for Seville. She is looking for a apartment last week, but don't know how that went, but I think she has a bit of time before she leaves for Madrid. I have already sent the reccomendations from Luis to her, and i suspect our other Spanish family members have some more ideas. I have already told her she must take lots of photos. ;-) Thanks Gene
