China - 6 days
I have the opportunity to go to China at Easter. Unfortunately, I only have a week off work (Thurs-Thurs). I've found some affordable flights, but it means arriving at 2pm on a Friday, having Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and then flying back on Wednesday. Is it worth it or should I wait for another time? I'm just afraid I won't get the opportunity for a long time. I'd like to go to Beijing and visit the Great Wall.

You may have 6 days off, but you have just 4 days on the ground in Asia. You can do it, it will be exhausting but exhilarating. If you can take just a couple more days off, it will make it more worthwhile.

Because I have to go to Madrid to get it and I can't take that time off work. It's one visit to apply and another visit to pick it up, if I understood correctly. I just can't take that time off and I don't like the idea of spending 70 euros on the train each time. The only way I could do it is if I could get the visa here in Valencia, which doesn't seem to be possible. In September, I'll be back home in London, so it'd be easy to sort out the visa in just a few hours with no travelling involved.

No such thing as a visa on arrival.
Here I see a link about applying by post: http://www.visaforchina.org/MAD_EN/

I've checked out the visa agent options and they're all too expensive. We're on a serious budget and were only going to go at Easter because we found an amazing deal on flights. We'll go another time when we're based back in London and it's easier to sort everything out. Thanks for your help!
