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!
