Shabbat in Madrid/ Toledo
Hi All,
A friend and I are arriving in Madrid for a long weekend (Thurs-Sunday evening). We are Shomer Shabbat and haven't spent time in Spain except for a long stopover in Madrid.
We like wandering in interesting areas, sipping coffee, people watching, as well as sight-seeing and museum-going. We hoped to stay in just one place for all three nights, but perhaps Toledo is more interesting than Madrid? or has more to do on Shabbat?
Thus we have two broad questions:
1. Is there enough to keep us happy/busy if we stay in Madrid the whole time? Even on Shabbat?
2. Is a trip to Toledo recommended? And if so, when -- Overnight Thurs; Day trip Sunday; Friday and Saturday nights with Madrid just Sunday?
Please share your advice!
Thanks!!!!
