Hi pedmar, et.al.!

It's GREAT that Madrid's Palacio de Linares is finally open to the public. It looks like something REALLY special from the photos.

I think I heard on TV that they were already booked solid through August. Now, upon viewing their website (see pedmar's links above), it seems it's booked through the end of the year. Take a look at the SOLICITUD DE RESERVA VISITAS GUIADAS or Guided tours booking form page and try to make a mock reservation, looking at the dates available. I don't see any available for the entire year. All the dates at "X"'d out on the calender.

Saludos, BarcelonaMan
