good decision. madrid is one of worst capital cities in europe. first night i was there i was woken up by an ETA bomb going off down the road. nice intro. not to mention i had second degree burns over my entire body (except for the bikini area) from two days of topless sunbathing in biarritz just before (i was stupid enough not to wear sunscreen). not the best way to spend your holiday. it's boring, boring, boring compared to barca (except for the prado, which is quite extraordinary).
Madrid boring??? I spent a year there and it was awesome!!!! Trust me, Madrid is worth a proper visit. And yes, there's no river, but you can't always get everything. And in fact, there is one, but not specially remarkable: the Manzanares.
I'm gonna be in England in july, but I think i'm doing both gigs.
