Essentially I'm interested in two pieces of information.<BR><BR>What is considered a reasonable air fare from the U.S. to Spain for next spring (May - June 2003)? Where did you get it?<BR><BR>Weather and timing.<BR>Madrid, Seville, Granada.<BR>Obviously most people would like good weather (not too cold, not too hot and probably dry).<BR>Having said that, if I have a choice of a little to hot and dry or a little to cold and wet I'd choose a little too hot.<BR>How different are the above areas say, last half of May or mid-June?<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR> <BR>

I went to Spain between 3-18 May this year. It rained a lot the first week but the second week was nice and sunny. I have watched weather programs on television and it always rain during the first week of May.

Spain is a big country.<BR>I don't think it always rain during the first week of May.<BR>We were there last May 2-9 and had a great weather. No rain at all. Besides what's wrong with some rain?<BR><BR>Myer don't skip Barcelona<BR>

Myer--- I am glad to see your plans to Spain are getting solidified (just returned from Rome; I'll get back to you on the Salamanca question, although Maribel has done a fantastic job in posting about this wonderful town).<BR><BR>Continental out of Newark tipycally has terrific deals to Madrid on the Spring, including good prices for connections. The prices are usually out by mid-Feb, but get in the habit of checking religiously; they even post a calendar for days with avaialble seats for the fare. I flew them to Madrid once (paid $424 including a connecting flight out of ALB). Excellent service. Cheaptickets.com is another established consolidator that I have used repeteadly with no complaints whatsoever. Very professional and great service on their 1-888 number. I have also flown USAirways to Madrid out of Philadelphia at good prices as well. Hope these tips help out!
