Sorry... made a mistake sending the message. Here goes the good one. Hello TwoHappyBees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I am afraid I must agree with Carolina: there are not many interesting lace related places in Madrid. Especially if you have only 6 hours (you will spend almost one hour from the airport to the center and another back). I personally would take a quick visit to the old center of Madrid, which is really lovely. But in case you only want bobbin lace... the shops Carolina has mentioned are the ones that have most things. In Pontejos there are always many many people... you have to wait a queu. And then the things are not exposed. You have to ask for what you want... so you need to have our ideas clear before your turn comes! There is also a Museum of clothes and costumes... from old times to modern times. It is interesting, and you can see some lace. There are also two private museums, which are really difficult to see. I have only seen one... the other one just impossible. At the Museum of El Prado, you can see lots of old paintings with lace on them. You can center on a particular painter, for example.. .as your time is limited. And as CArolina says, there is an underground from the airport to the city, which makes things easy. Hope this helps a bit.
