But seriously, El Jim, Madrid is one of those places that does sensible cards for tourists El Clicka so if you fancy having a nosey round or a butcher's at Guernica (the painting not the place)...

Not sure that you should take the guitar though. When they start clapping their hands and stamping their feet it isn't necessarily applause.

Hunt down some real flamenco - there are a few bars that have musicians playing spontaneously - we went to one but can't remember its name - somewhere south of Placa Real I think but that doesn't really help - didn't start until really late though. There is a home brew place with nice beer in Placa Santa Ana. Also some great tiled pubs. The Thyssen Borsomething Museum is a brilliant gallery - lots of early 20th century stuff - one of my favourite galleries - details here http://www.madrid-tourist-guide.com/en/attractions/art-gallery-madrid.html

Its a magical city - even the Atocha rail station is beautiful (hopefully still despite the efforts of the bombers)

You'll have a great time!

Lucky you - its brilliant - hope to get back some time but still loads of other cities to do - we found it really friendly but others have reported it as not being so. Depends who you meet. We found a great cheap but nice restaurant ot far from the Placa del Sol - I think it has Susanna in its name - will try to find it on web but it was several years ago

Believe me that the TB gallery is much better than Prado unless you like older works of art - I'm more into lte 19th & early 20th c - though I love the Bosch in the Prado.
