Ear It is

Admirers of Vincent Van Gogh's artwork will have an extra reason to visit Madrid between now and September 16th 2007.

During this time the Museo Thyssen will feature an exhibition of the Dutch master's work, with a special emphasis on the last three months of the painters life, which he spent at Auvers in France during 1890.

It was during this time that Van Gogh suffered badly with the mental illness which had seen him cut off his ear and ultimately led to his suicide.

However, this period also saw some prolific output, including the painting Les Vessenots, which is on display at the museum.

Visitors staying in cheap hotels in Madrid will also be able to enjoy many more great attractions in one of Europe's most interesting capital cities.

Notable buildings include the imposing Royal Palace, the Teatro Real and the National Library.

Football fans can also enjoy a visit to the Bernabau, home of Real Madrid, where David Beckham is no longer on show but the La Liga championship trophy is.
