After an hour or so in the arena with the bulls, we went to have lunch, Angela had arranged some preferential treatment for us and we were first into the dining hall, ahead of the hundreds of locals that were there as well. Lunch was an excellent paella with plenty of beer and wine to go with it.
We were dropped off at our hotel after the BBR, we were given some time to recover and get ready for the evening Fiesta. The hotel was in quite a good location and we found it in easy walking distance of most of the main tourist attractions. The accommodation itself was perfect for what we needed and we couldn’t have asked for more considering the occasion.
Fernando was our guide for the evening, he collected us from our hotel and took us to the old part of Madrid for dinner. He had booked us a table in a great little restaurant with loads of character, and “old town” charm. The restaurant was full of locals, which to me is always a good sign that we are in the right place. The food was amazing, we had a great selection of Tapas to start and for mains we all went for the steak - needless to say we weren’t disappointed. Most importantly, the jugs of sangria didn’t stop coming and we very well looked after. The highlight of the dinner had to be the stripper that arrived during desert, she was really good fun and had our stag suitably embarrassed.
After diner, Fernando used his expert local knowledge to guide us around some great bars in the old part of Madrid. Fernando seemed to have a good sense of what we were looking for and made sure we had a great night out – again we weren’t disappointed!
Last Night of Freedom were very accommodating with our arrangements. Even though we did not meet the minimum numbers required for activities they were able to pair us up with another group so we could still do the activities we requested. They were very flexible with their timing of events and were able to work around our flight schedules. After looking at a number of different tour companies and even trying to organise everything myself, I realised that Last Night of Freedom were the people to deal with and they made everything so much easier. Our guides Angela and Fernando were brilliant and helped make the Stag weekend a great success…">
We arrived in Madrid for our Stag party on the Saturday afternoon and didn’t have to wait long at the airport for Angela to collect us and take us off to the baby Bull Running. Angela was really good

Madrid is a great location, the nightlife is great: lively and fun.
The Staff were always friendly and helpful. one suggestion is to double check what is in the package proposal and
