Flights booked, now looking for accommodation. What is everyone else doing? I'm thinking of probably a hostel as I'm getting pretty skint. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers!

Hotel serrano recoletos near the national libary of Spain.

to be honest i don't know were the fuck it is in connection to the Square or the Stadium. Going to search now..............

15 minutes on the Tube. Hotel looks class tho. £10 each and its near the Hard Rock Cafe so not too bad

The metro system over there is brilliant, as long as you're close enough to a stop you'll be fine. Good enough connections everywhere from which I remember from other year.

3 of us in a hostal somewhere around plaza mayor & puerta del sol, not far from where we stayed back in 2009. Got b&b for £30 a head, but there are definetly cheaper places if you are strapped for cash.

Me neither mate, but yep it's at Stansted. There's a car park where you leave your car, and then a transfer to and from the airport, all very easy.

Posted this in the other thread so i'll add it here too

Booked the flights for this last night. Fly from Manchester on the Monday to Barcelona. Tuesday morning fly from there to Madrid and then Wednesday to Milan for a few hours before coming home. £118 in total so not too bad

the fucking envy! Went to Ateltico and Real with my old man when we played them in the same season and loved it. Both can't make it this time round and reading this thread isn't exactly helping.
