Comunidad de Madrid Travel Blogs

i went back to the hostel with hanie, dave and alex about 12 midnight, as i have a flight back to düsseldorf at 8:30 in the morning and hanie and dave too early in the morning. alex still had his flight back to scotland in the afternoon, but he wanted to get a good nights sleep. but before that i …

We arose early and went to breakfast at a little restaurant near the hotel called Cafeteria Veneto.  We had some churros, tortillas de patatas, and coffee.  It was a great meal!  We took the #53 bus again towards Sol.   Once again, this time due to construction, we could no…

Alone When I arrive at the subway(airport) Tirso won't respond at the phone and Lauro also!!! Well I have the hostel reservation, so in the worst case, no problem! Finally at the 3º or 4º time Lauro was in! ok we will meet at Sol under the "Bear" arround 20.30h Nobody is here Once at "Sol" NOB…

I can´t find Lauro and the gang! Maybe because I´m not really looking and instead I´m taking advantage of  this 1euro an hour internet even though my computer is put in front of the door and if I scoot back a little like 2 feet I will be on the streets.  I don´t have phone credit…

Wow. I have utterly neglected this blog. I have many, many tales to tell and will get to them someday... you know, in between all my days lazying about at cafes and all.... but this story I must tell now. I only hope other girls traveling in Spain hear about my story and heed my advice.&n…

We got up, had breakfast and checked out of our hostel. I was pissed off with my nights lack of sleep and not looking forward to travelling to Paris. I soon perked  up a bit though. We were on our way to Paris today, where we'd spend 3 nights celebrating Loris birthday and Bastille day, a…

i contacted tirso long long long ago - sometime in march i think - that if ever i am in madrid - i would ask for his help to tour me around the city - now why him of all the people in madrid from travbuddy? because he is the most active! hahahahahahahahahahai dont have much time for internet when i…

So today was the day of the "Madrid meet-up!" There wasn't that many other tb's coming to it either then the ones already in the group who were staying at the Pop Hostel. It was Tirso (who lives in Madrid) and then Cameron (a TB from Australia who currently lives/works in Africa) and then JC who is…

From El Escorial we came back to Madrid. This will be our last day here, in this awesome city. We were alreay so hungry that we went again to our favourite chinese resto where we ate yesterday (Near plaza Espańa). And again we had lots of good food:) and we saw again that nice waitress and we list…

When I looked through the window this morning I saw the blue spotless sky again: Viva Madrid! We left early for breakfast, which we picknicked at the square in front of the Almudena and the Palacio Real. My father turned out to be sick from the worthless diner we had last night, and didn't even fin…

Gotta say Madrid's airport looks quite a bit more impressive and LAX design-wise. Lol, so yes I did have to take pictures

This last Friday I had the opportunity to meet 14 travbuddies I only knew online! It was a fun day, pitty we did not have the chance to spend more time together! At night we were invited to a big party with swimming pool and a funny castle!

Each night when i arrive at my hostel room i do a little diary about what i need and what i like in life and i do this each night and i swear this kind of time in life is very important to know who u are and kno wwhat u need and after my trip in spain i come back home with good value and very happy…

Time to edit in the detail :-) now that we are home :-( Had wanted to go to Madrid for some while, and it was everything I had hoped for and more. Had expected Barcelona to be more like this, which is probably why I was so disappointed there. Arrived at Barajas Airport just after 1pm local t…

As I wrote in "no offense, Madrid...", I'm a Barcelona person. Part of it is certainly because I'm a medievalist. In the 13th century, Barcelona was one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean, while Madrid was a bump on a log. Madrid didn't come into its own until it became the Spani…
