Semana Santa Activities
Decided to stay in Madrid during Semana Santa? Not to worry, there are still many activities for you to enjoy! This is a great time to enjoy the city as it tends to be quieter, as many locals have taken advantage of the break and left town. Just think, a seat at your favourite bar, more than simply elbow room as you walk the streets around Sol and no queues! Thats right! The city is in rare form. Enjoy!
