  My friend and I are 24/26 from Los Angeles… so exited!
  
  Would anyone be interested in doing a bullfight on Sunday the 17th? There is an optional excursion to Valley of the Fallen, but a bullfight could be cool too. Not sure if anyone has an insight/experience on them.

  What’s up guys. I’m Adam from Chicago. I’m also going to be on this trip and looking forward to it. Is anyone going to be arriving in Madrid early? I’m flying in on the 12th and don’t really know what I am going to do yet. Let me know if you are in the same situation and want to meet up. Otherwise I’ll meet you guys on the 15th.

  Hey Frankie… there really isn’t any info… I think we just buy the tickets when we are there… I haven’t really done anymore investigating because I was going to wait till we got to Madrid to talk with our tour guide and other people.

  Hi! I’m traveling alone to Madrid on the 15th and was wondering if anyone else was flying out of New York City (JFK) at 7pm? Can’t wait to meet everyone. And I’m in for the bullfighting!

  Hey Lee, I get in on Saturday morning as well. What time do you arrive in Madrid? I arrive at 9:35am and I plan on taking the metro in, it’s only 1 euro and pretty straightforward. See you all soon!

  Hey everyone. My friend and I have been here since Thursday.
  
  Just a word to the wise… the Metro is pretty straightforward (but it actually costs 2 euro)… but BE CAREFUL… we almost got pick pocketed. Some guy started grabbing my bag like he was moving it out of the way.. then another one did… then some guy dropped some papers and bent down near my bag… luckily i knew what to look for as I have heard about this before and was able to yell no and they went away.
  
  Anyway.. see you all tomorrow! It is beautiful here… we had a great day walking around.
