I remember you said you understood why I hate summer:naughty: I don't think you'll need a coat, maybe a light jacket or a sweater for the evenings, nothing more.

Mici Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Did anyone already book an hotel , i am hesitant about the 2 links given by BQ?I would really like to bring you these Mikabottles but i travel by plane... I can take the risk but with empty bottles ( 250 ml , there are very small). Awwww i would love to have a Mikabottle, that's so sweet . <3 I need regular weather updates from you missy ... I need to choose my factor suntan cream:naughty: Yes i need one too, for Barcelona as well, as believe it or not i have already started to make my list of things to take....such a crazy perfectionist, planing way ahead.

willywonka Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Asun, are the places you gave us the links for near the venue? Are there other places nearer? Any given hotel nearer the venue? Wot's more expensive these days? To hire a car at the airport or take the taxi all day long??? Gracias... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillibet Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Willywonka: i booked easily at the firts venue BQ gave us: Maria Alcazar ( page11 i believe), they just answered me that they had a problem with water, so they offer me another place near. so i am going to choose the second one?!

lillibet Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 So, i found a special offer at the Novotel where i was for the first gig, it seems really near from the venue , and above all i have a bus which leads me to the Airport. 72 euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackQueen Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I've been away all day, and don't have much time right now, but I've read about the hotel and have to say NOVOTEL IS VERY FAR FROM THE VENUE The venue is in the city centre and those two links I posted are at a reasonable distance. I don't know any cheap hotel near by, but with the metro you are there in less than 10 minutes. About the renting of a car, I don't think you need that, there is a direct metro line from the airport to the city centre: it's the fastest, cheapest way to move around. I'll post a link to the metro map tomorrow, ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackQueen Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Here's the metro map: http://prs.metromadrid.es/metro/mapametrofull.asp?lang=en The venue is in GOYA station (lines 2 -red- and 4 -brown-). I don't remember where those hostels are, but I'm sure you can find info on that in their sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're very welcome. Yes, it's close to the airport, but NOTHING MORE, this is important. And the Palacio de los Deportes is not the venue he played in last time you were here with us, that's the one which was close to the hotel, not this one. This one is in the city centre, quite far from the hotel, keep this in mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
