Yes, even the best things must ocme to an end and so is my trip to Madrid.


Madrid for sure is a place where people know how to party. As I got out of my apartment I headed towards one of Madrid’s most popular night clubs (I had that researched before) – Ananda. I did not know what to expect – techno, house, rock…but I knew I had to be there. And it turned out that the place was really good.

Lots of people flocked there, many tourists too, but still it was fun. I made friends with several locals we had a couple of beers and decided to go to a different place. They showed me one of the bars known mostly to people from Madrid. It was a more relaxed place, we could enjoy nice music and eat some tapas.

Early n the morning I came back to my Madrid apartments and spent the next day in bed. I had a nasty hangover so was not in the mood for sightseeing or traveling, so I preferred to stay at home in and goon the internet to share my experience with friends.

It was late in the evening when I decided to go out for a walk to see what Madrid is during the night (without any liquor in your blood) and once again I was dazzled by the beauty of this place. An hour later after shooting a bunch of pohotos, I went back to my cheap hotels in Madrid and packed by stuff for tomorrow I was heading back home.

Another day, another story here.

My travel experience in Madrid showed me that there is something different to every city in Europe. I was expecting the same stuff all over again, but this town has a soul of its own. I got out of my accommodation in Madrid and headed towards the centre, I enjoyed the city’s great museums which, the contemporary buildings mixed with old fashioned streets and houses is unbelievable. I went to see the museum of modern art, with paintings done by Spain’s best artists.

I also went to see the crystal palace which was a true masterpiece of architecture – I strongly recommend it to anyone coming to Madrid. the best thing to see while in Madrid for sure is the Escorial palace. Although it is not exactly in Madrid, it is not far and you can easily go there.

Once a residence of the king, now this place is a museum with lots of things to offer. Did not miss the chance to buy some souvenirs for friends and headed back to my cheap Madrid apartment. I was happy I had satellite TV in my room so I could relax for an hour watching the Simpsons before I started preparing for the night, as I had decided that the night will be dedicated to partying and drinking.


Have a look at a vide of Madrid that I found, brings back memories…

Hi there, here is how it all starts….

Having seen most of Germany and Austria, I thought that I knew all about Europe. With that in mind I set out to explore Spain and more specifically –its capital Madrid. I had read some travel advices and tips about what is hot and what is not in Madrid. What places to see etc, so I was not completely unaware of what to expect. So I boarded the train and in a couple of hours I was at the Madrid train station.

As most train stations, this one was not anything pleasant – full of shady people and littered. But it is like that everywhere so nothing strange here. then I got to a cab and went to my private accommodation in Madrid which was very conveniently placed in the centre of the town. 30 minutes and 20 euros later I was there. Everything seemed fine, I liked the place had a shower and set out to explore the city.

My number one priority was the old town. I went there and it was really cool – lots of old building small streets packed wit tourists and tiny cafeterias offering delicious food and drinks. I had a coffee and went to see the famous Plaza Santa Ana which was really amazing. I took a load of photos and after 3 hours of walking went back to my holiday apartments Madrid.

Will tell you more about my Madrid travel experiences in another post, so stay tuned!
