I�ve told some of you before about the many free concerts which are on in Madrid, and finally got around to posting an advance list of them. There are a couple of regular venues I�ve still not got any information for for February, but there�s plenty in the list already. Unless a price is mentioned it�s free (it�s wise to be there early). Nearly all of these are classical. Stephen

There�s a key to the venues at the end.

PS: Please check the info for yourself. No responsibility assumed.....

If you look at the column order it can be figured out (in case it looks mangled).
