I stayed in Sol when I last went to Madrid. Nice and central.

Don't fly direct. Also the trains in Spain are excellent if you fly into a different city

Fly to Alicante train only £34 return to Madrid

 

[SSL2]

you can fly via ibiza for just over £100.

we booked before going monday - wednesday & paid £81 each for the 4 flights.

good flight times too - absolute bargain

Just booked Brum to Santander (good flight times) at £14.99.
Santander playing Monday night so can get that game in.
Train from there to Madrid is less than £40.00 atm and will be a great journey.
No idea how I am getting back but who gives a shit.
Going to try and get tickets for Athletico v Dortmund Wed night but will be a tall order I know.

Nice leisurely 4 hr drive. Well someone else will be driving, I’ll be sat in the back on BM calling everyone in the pre match thread a miserable ****. :-)

Well normally all the drinking is done in and around Plaza Mayor, so near to there is as good as any.

However, prices are pretty steep given the short notice and it being a capital city.

I’ve just booked Chic & Basic Dot which looks nice, £150. Not cheap but cheaper than others in that area.
Depends on your budget I guess…the metro is pretty good though (a bit like London) so getting around is easy enough if you wanted to stay further out for cheaper

So just trying to juggle

Ryanair have some cheap seats to Barcelona from Manchester the day prior by the looks of it (all three “Barcelona”airports - Girona, Reus and the main airport, El Prat.) Just had a cursory glance at Vueling for a quick internal flight to Madrid on the day of the game and they are cheap too. Not sure about trains.

Might tot up overall once you factor in accommodation, potential additional transport if you fly to Girona or Reus (depends if there are flights from there to Madrid or if you have to go into Barcelona), but given the abundance of flights to Barcelona from pretty much everywhere, that may be worth a look. I’ve heard nothing but good things about high speed intercity rail in Spain.
