72 HOURS in MADRID
 

On our way back to Canada , we will be spending 3 days in Madrid . Of course , we would like to see as much as possible . Would appreciate reccomendation for a centrally located clean budget hotel as well as suggestions as to the main sites to visit in such a short visit . Tx

Madrid's top two sights, the Prado and the Royal Palace, with its gilded rooms and frescoed ceilings are worth a day alone. Allot another day for the flea market and a bullfight. If this sounds good get Rick Steve's book Europe 97 or see him at www.ricksteve's.com where you can E-mail him or get a condensed version of the book format on the website for Spain. Ole!
