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…
