Fodorites please help...Spain or Germany New Years...
 

Fodorites, <BR>My husband and I would like to spend New Years in Spain or Germany. More specifically we plan to go there Dec 26 until Jan 9. <BR>We have friends in Germany we can stay with, in Freiburg, how cold does it get there at that time, is there a lot to do? <BR>And I have not been to Spain in about ten years, so if someone can held pick a hotel 4 to 5 stars in Madrid that does not attract big tours groups... <BR>Please help.. <BR> <BR>Natalie

any suggestions for Natalie?

DO NOT GO TO SPAIN...STICK TO GERMANY...YOU MIGHT GET INJURED...READ THE POST BELOW TITLED WARNING DO NOT GO TO SPAIN...

Hi Natalie! I would choose Spain over Germany because the spaniards are warm, friendly people. I would look into the following hotels in Madrid: Ritz, Palace, Villa Real, Wellington, Husa Princesa, Villa Magna, Miguel Angel. A few years ago, we spent Christmas week in Madrid, it was magnificent. Even though I like Germany, I would not want to spend New Year's there. Go to Spain instead. :)

Natalie, <BR>I agree with Cory Spain is great during Christmas and New Year's try the Husa Princesa, it is a good hotel, we stayed there last year. Also Spain is not as cold as Germany, but I heard Germany is also beautiful during Christmas <BR> <BR>Lori
