 * <do name="Real Madrid" alt="" address="" directions="" phone="" url="http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/Home.htm" hours="" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">For football fanatics, a trip to the ''Santiago Bernabeu'', the home of local club Real Madrid is not to be missed. Real Madrid is the most successful football club in Spain and Europe, having been crowned Spanish champions a record 32 times and European champions a record 9 times. Their biggest rivals by far are FC Barcelona, with which it contests matches known popularly as ''El Clásico'' at least twice a year. The rivalry between the two sides is by far the biggest in Spain and one of the most intense in the world, and stems from the longstanding traditional rivalry between the Spanish and Catalan speaking parts of Spain. As such, tickets for such matches often sell out very quickly.  In case you arrive in Madrid on non-match periods, you can take a self-guided tour of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. It includes tours around the field, the dressing rooms, the Press Room and the Real Madrid Museum where the trophies and other memorabilia are kept. Without a loyalty card, the typical fees for adults is €16. However, a few days before a match, the chances are you will not be able to take the full tour, but only a part of it, with at least the Real Madrid Museum, at a reduced price.</do>

		+	*'''Tapas Bar 24''' Travesa Do Carmo No. 24, +351917166616. This small bar located in an alleyway south of Rua Carmo, 100 meters west of the University, is one of the cheaper places in Porto to drink. Beers from 1 Euro, the bar also has small sandwiches and other tapas-style snacks. The owner, Helder, is extremely friendly. There is a laptop that customers can use to play their own music (please watch your drinks around the computer!). Popular with university students, it's a great place to meet friendly locals. If you go early in the evening it's a quiet bar to enjoy drinks, but later on students show up and turn it into a dance party. Highly recommended.
