Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Madrid in Autumm can be hot especially in the afternoons. Their nights are breezy & cool. No need to wear jackets when you're out walking the streets at night.
People are pretty well-dressed here i.e. in a smart-casual kind of way. After all, some of the HOTTEST and HIP clothes these days are designed by the multi-talented Spanish designers from the design house of MNG Mango and Zara.
The following is a rough guide on what I'd pack along with me for an Autumn vacation to Madrid:
(1) 1 pair of jeans (in black or denim blue).
(2) 1 short skirt OR skorts
(3) 1 pair of shorts/ bermudas.
(4) 2 summer dresses.
(5) 3 or 4 cotton t-shirts/ tank tops
(6) 1 pair of sandals
(7) 1 pair of evening shoes
(8) 1 little black dress (which can double up for day and evening events). After all, the party animals who patronize 'JOY' - Madrid's #1 night haunt - DO dress-to-kill. So, knock 'em dead (the guys, I mean) with your amazing dress sense! :-)
(9) 2 nightgowns/ pyjamas.
(10) 1 bathing suit.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: DON'T forget to transfer your precious Clarifying toners and astringent, foaming cleanser, Advanced Night Repair/ Vibrant night creams et al into small plastic containers - to save luggage space.
Photo Equipment: You are looking at a technophile, baby!
Yes, I've gone digital and high-tech. These days, I never leave home (read: Singapore) without my Canon digital camera (as slim as a credit card)... and my Nokia mobile phone (with a spy camera and video cam attached).
Miscellaneous: Actually, you DON'T NEED to pack too many clothings because dresses/ clothes are pretty INEXPENSIVE here in Spain.
Go to Spain with a half-filled luggage and you WON'T be disappointed. If you choose to go in October, better still. It's SALE time...
