  • Though I personally didn't see any, Madrid is notorious for its pick-pockets. Wear a moneybelt or other secure device to keep your money, credit cards, etc. Women should also have hold on securely to their purses and cameras are best secured with the strap around and across the chest. Better safe than sorry.

     I spent a couple of days in Madrid, but didn't see the Temple of Debod - very strange sight to see in Spain!!

     Stephen, this is a very interesting and informative group of pages concerning Madrid. I, too, loved the Prado Museum...one of the greatest. Wish I had taken the bus tour. Thanks for the tour.

     Ahh Madrid ! Home to perpetual construction works, busy people, wonderful tapas bars and great museums :-))

     I lived in Madrid over 20 yrs ago and was very impressed at their Public Transportation. Glad to hear it's still so good! Hey, I'm originally from LI too!
