Easter Week in Madrid

I will be in Madrid Saturday afternoon April 8 til' Saturday morning April 15.

I haven't been able to find any information on closures of restaurants, museums, shops (not malls), sites, etc. for that week. I see that Maundy Thursday and Good Friday are public holidays - but cannot find how that or other days that week affects sites/restaurants/cafes.

On Palm Sunday I plan to go to the El Rastro Market and maybe do Rick's two walks - Puerta del Sol to Royal Palace Loop and the Gran Via walk. I did read that day trip tickets need to be booked ahead so will do that for Segovia for Monday April 10 and I found a website that describes the various processions and when they will be held.

A guide to closures of main sites, restaurants, shops, for Tuesday - Friday will be most appreciated.

Thank you,

Sharon

The websites of the major museums will probably have information on holiday closures. Once you get to Madrid, the tourist office may be able to assist you.
