Overall

get a 10 trip ticket for the metro you will use it, it is the way to get around. To get a feel for the city and an idea of what your going to see try the open top bus tours that start /finish in puerta del sol there are 2 routes. palacio real (free on wednesday for european passport holders) naval museam,plaza major especially on a sunday morning for the rastro market. see the collectors in the plaza then ask the way to the rastro,real madrid stadium,retiro park are just a few things i enjoyed. just watch out for people on the metro with jackets over their arms especially in summer when its 40 c... pickpockets!!
