And I'll never forget the Christmas Eve parade through the street of Santa Cruz....Mount Teide....I wonder how full those flights would be?
MAD is cold and damp in December. Don't do it. 7 persons is a tall order. I recommend PVR or MZT. Good flight options out of LAX, SAT,ATL, DEN. And the weather is nice.
