    Just as an FYI, I found roundtrip flights from Syracuse to Madrid, and back for $550USD. That would get you there on Friday, and home on Monday.

    (I'm not saying I'd go - just putting it out there)

    High chance that I'll go, unless I get some nasty surprise from university (I'll know in a month or so). RyanAir has a decently cheap if annoying Stockholm-Oslo-Madrid flight, but I'll shop around a bit more.

    That is one nasty-ass trip! You will spend more time travelling than playing!

    Incidentally, GP: Madrid feeds PT: San Juan... but which San Juan? The page doesn't say and there are at least a dozen cities with that name.

    I guess that the OP isn't the only one from the Netherlands that will be attending.

    The day that the GP scedule was posted 3 trails were organised that day. And preregistrations are huge! one event has 50+ preregistrations within 48 hours.

    I'll go to Madrid with some friends as well! I can't wait.

    Hmm.. it's still 108 days to go :(

    Anyone know if GP: Madrid is going to be at the same location as 2008? Would be great to know, as I have to book accomodation very soon!

    Yes Dave, I'm from Madrid, and the GP is going to be at the same location (next to "Casa de campo"). If anyone has more questions about Madrid an the GP (flights, hotel, etc...), can ask me

    Are there any good hostels near there? We dont want to lay out for an expensive hotel, when its only going to be for crashing out anyways! All the ones I can find are in the middle of town. Any suggestions? We want to book up at the end of the month and we dont want to walk miles or have to get a cab! Thanks in advance!

    Take a look at these:

    www.hotelsanantoniodelaflorida.com
    HOTEL FLORIDA NORTE -> search in his web, www.celuisma.com

    If you look at the map of Madrid, the park of "Casa de Campo" is located west of the city. The championship will be in a pavilion inside the park. I think the nearest subway stop is "Lago". Also, you can search for hotels which are located near the following streets:

    Avenida de Portugal
    Paseo de la Florida
    Paseo de Extremadura
    Paseo de la Virgen del Puerto
    Calle de Segovia

    Anyway, the subway in Madrid is quite fast. If you go to a hotel in the center of Madrid (for example, near of the following subways stops: Opera, Plaza de Espaņa, Sol, Callao...), maybe in 20 minutes you are in "Lago" stop.

    Wizards has updated with some info about the GP:
    http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazin...cmp=ilc-mtgrss

    The event will take place in the same location as all other GPs did, which is good news, because, while not being the most beautifull venue of the city, Casa de Campo is very well located.
