Take a day trip to Toledo by train or bus.. it is very beautiful. On Sunday, you should go to El Rastro..off of metro La Latina. It is a huge open air flea market.. best to go early to avoid overwhelming crowds. You can find some cool jewelry, clothing, t-shirts, music souvenirs… A cool place to shop is Mercado de Fuencarral.. Also, the best nightlife is in the neighborhood Chueca (aka the gay part of Madrid) Best music, most fun… If that’s not your thing..you can always go to the more commercial/dressy clubs like Kapital, Joy, and Pacha. Have fun!

El Rastro was indeed very crowded and huge! Every where we went there was the market… really overwhelming. Didn’t buy anything though except for some Mickey Mouse push pins for a Disney-freak-friend.

We didn’t go clubbing or anything, mostly we were to tired from walking all day (we didn’t bother to take the metro, the weather was to nice). but we did go to a Jazz club, Jazz is not really our thing but it was great and relaxing, so … ;)

For the rest we just hung out at the bar/cafe where we had a snack or dinner.
