Hello all. My husband and I will be in Spain in October, and will be in Madrid 10/11-14. I didn’t realize that the 12th was a big holiday in Spain when we set our dates. I believe things are still open because we booked a tour for the morning of the 12th but wanted to ask how celebratory the city will be.
Thanks
Some places will be closed, but Madrid is a cosmopolitan city and you´ll find plenty of places still open. But there will be a huge military parade from around 11 to 14 (2pm) and the center of the city will be shut down to traffic (mainly Paseo del Prado, Recoletos, Cibeles, Colón areas). Expect a festive atmosphere and lots of people in the streets.
