Tour - New Forest We leave
London at 6pm, and arrive in time to pitch the tents and enjoy a drink
at a great local pub just across the road from our exclusive campsite.
Saturday starts with a good cooked breakfast, before we collect our mountain
bikes and head out to explore the charming villages and great scenery
of the New Forest
using the gravel tracks and small lanes. We can
enjoy a campfire and barbeque in the evening! On Sunday we first visit
the great beaches and spectacular cliffs - walking a stunning part of
the South West coastal footpath, before visiting Corfe Castle. Summer

Island Destination! It will be interesting to see what diplomatic arguments will arise along with the island Italy, France and Britain almost went to war over ownership before the island sank in 1832 and Italian divers have already been sent down to plant their national flag on it.

Madrid may
not be as popular tourist destination as Barcelona, but it is packed full
of museums, galleries and attractions and has a stunning, traditionally
Spanish nightlife. Logistics
and Orientation Easyjet www.easyjet.com/en
fly to Madrid from Luton and weekend flights in June are now available
for less than £90. Virgin Express www.virgin-express.com also fly
to Madrid as do British Airways www.ba.com who have return flights including
all taxes for just £86. Although Madrid is a large city the main central area for attractions is confined by Campo del Moro in the west and Parque del Buen Retiro in the east. The Santa Ana area is one of Madrid's most popular places to stay and it is close to good restaurants and nightclubs. Madrid's nightlife is lively around Plaza del Dos de Mayo, in the area known as Malasaña. What to see Madrid's city centre has a strong and lively mix of museums, galleries and great-looking buildings among flamenco bars, busy tascas and classy restaurants. A stroll down Madrid's grand avenue - Gran Via - will soon highlight the charms of this truly Spanish city. Remember to look up and appreciate the mix of architecture styles, shapes and skylines. Madrid is
home to a great selection of art galleries, with the Museo del Prado rated
as one of the finest art galleries in the world It has a strong emphasis
on Spanish, Flemish and Italian art from the 15th to 19th centuries, with
paintings by Goya and Velazquez. You would be well advised to buy a joint voucher called the "Paseo del Arte" which gives discounted entry to all three museums. This can be bought at the city's main tourist office on Plaza Mayor. Madrid is home to the world's largest bullring, Plaza de Toros Monumental de las Ventas, but we would strongly advise you to give blatant animal cruelty a wide-berth and it's far more exciting to check out a football match with either Real or Atlético Madrid. For shopping,
the Flea Market at El Rastro stands out as a lively place to hunt down
a bargain. It dates back 5 centuries and covers everything from electronics,
clothes to real antiques. The market is on every Sunday and is found on
Calle Ribera de Curtidores For nightlife,
there are plenty of traditionally Spanish bars such as Viva Madrid (décor
of tiles and heavy wooden ceilings) and the usual smattering of Irish
bars such as the popular Finnegan's and The Quiet Man. Also worth checking
out would be La Solea (found on Calla de la Cava Baja 27) which is regarded
by some as the last real flamenco bar in Madrid! Web
