I most certainly am one of those people 🙂 If I am not booking the wrong country I am taking a punt on the wrong location. Booked Split when the game was in Zagreb, though that was a fortunate mistake as I loved Split and have been back a few times since . I have Gla -Malaga return flights 8-15 oct. Free cancellation on hotels in Malaga and Seville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because I thought the match would be there, but because from Madrid you could get to anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the ‘2 games in Andalusia ‘ comments. I was feeling reasonably confident it would be that area. I wanted to make it a holiday too and  I like that part of Spain, otherwise I probably would have held off. If the game ends up hours away we will just keep 3 nights hotel in Malaga, bin Seville hotel , travel to wherever the game is being played on 11th, and probably get a return flight closer to there and forget about the flight back from Malaga. There are return flights from Madrid for £70 just now might just book them 🙄 Its actually quite an exciting way to book things .  Like a mystery holiday….

Would be a tough drive for you to Gran Canaria from Malaga though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though a quick look on skyscanner says I can get a return flight from Malaga to Gran Canaria for £67 ! It seems like its a standard 70 quid to go anywhere in Spain 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlish Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 both Seville stadiums are 60k capacity, I think that might be too big. Malaga is 30k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three big stadiums in Seville. All would be suitable. Real Betis and Sevilla but also the multi-purpose Estadio de La Cartuja (57k) which the Spanish FA have used many times in recent years.

Is that right?  It’s the possibility of booking flights to the mainland and finding out it’s on some island off Africa that’s giving me pause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still holding off myself as i have been burned with booking flights before. Would rather have it confirmed but then the availability and prices can become an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether to fly to Malaga and get the fast train. Make it a lot easier if the Spanish fa would confirm the venue. Would like to think the sfa would fight our corner a bit while the Spanish are here and try and push for a venue. Although i won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
