El sábado era el día fuerte de la visita, ya que al disponer de todo el día se puede hacer una buena planificación. Despues de desayunar en el hotel, salimos temprano, primero paramos a sacarnos unas fotos en la famosa Plaza de España. El dia, como era temprano estaba un poco frio todavia, pero bien, para caminar rápido. Seguimos por la calle Bailen, pasamos por el Palacio Real, Catedral de la Almudena y seguimos por la misma calle Bailén. Aqui el frio nos aconsejo un cafe, que tomamos...

This was a four-days-long-metro-travel-trip ;) = [one big metro ride!]I planned the visit in Madrid a long time ago. Two years ago i was in Andalucia (southern Spain) and i almost managed to get to Madrid ... ALMOST :/ So now i was more than happy! This was my dream! To see, to know, to be surrounded by this beautiful 'system of darkness'! Metro de Madrid was the most impresive one in the world for few last years, cuz it was growing like crazy, like no other subway system! (for now it stopped...

The Royal Palace of Madrid was our next stop after visiting the Valley of the Fallen.This Royal Palace like many European palaces were adorned with gold, marble, countless of artworks and portraits. One thing that stood out in this royal palace was its vast collection of chandeliers! They were fantastic! I love them so much I took tons of pictures of the various chandeliers we saw as we went from room to room in the palace. There were two rooms that I love the most in the Roya Palace of ...

  Tras varios meses de costosos y ajetreados preparativos por fín iba a dar comienzo el Viaje a Oriente Medio y Los Balcanes. Cinco éramos las personas que nos íbamos a embarcar en esta nueva aventura. Chema, Pilar, Alicia, Carlos (Kalipo) y yo. Dos parejitas (Chema & Pili, Kalipo & Ali) y un soltero (oui, c´est moi) que repetiríamos otro mes inolvidable. Con Carlos y Chema había hecho un Interrail en 2001y el Transiberiano el año anterior (2005). Con las c...

We went to find a place to eat, it was hard to decided (mc donalds, VIPS, KFC, Burger king,..).Then we went from Gran Via to La puerta de Alcalá to walk at the Retiro Park, but hapens something......we finally end the walk in boats (hahaha) and making stupid pictures all the time.And after that we went walking to Atocha Station to see the monument from the victims of the terrorism and went home.total spend: 1€ (to arrive to...

Arrived at midnight at my host´s place in Madrid, was only sure I was coming to Madrid about 12o´clock, thursday 21st will continue on to Lisboa. Road tripping with Paul from Austria, he´s filming a documentory about couch surfing, how cool.

Being in Madrid was a bit of a suprise for me but it works out well.  I had believed for the past week or so that my flight to Dublin was in the morning, but it's not, it is actually at night so I have all day here to get things done.  Mostly shopping.  I hate shopping, especially gift shopping, and of course when you go out of town for a vacation like this you have to purchase trinkets for family and friends.  I spent all day mulling each purchase over until finally I fel...

Photo Blog of my stay in Madrid from 4 untill 8 januari 2008.

My 12 day recce of Madrid has passed, and I'm back in England for a couple of weeks before moving out there. The London pre-trip holiday lasted longer than anticipated. I got back to Coventry late on the night before the trip and got round to packing at 3am. Quick sleep until 5am, then up and to the airport. Ryanair, East Mids - Madrid, no problem. After a little walk around the airport I found the Madrid Metro, and headed into town. The clear signs, and fast trains quickly br...

Contemporary Madrid is a sprawling, modern city with a population of three million. While the suburban areas are awash in uniform, concrete apartment buildings, the city center of Madrid Spain is a delightful mix of narrow alleyways, gourmet restaurants, and world famous modern art and Renaissance museums. Everyone arrives in the capital with varied pictures of Madrid Spain in their mind, yet the city always shows you something new, something you missed or hadn't expected. Compared to Barcelo...

Madrid i was here from 11 till 16 november. Beautifull buildings and musea. Its a green city with friendly people.When you go, visit the Prado museum its a must to see. For a good meal and the music, you should go to the Hard Rock Cafe on Plaza Colon. Espana por favor!

Back in Madrid first thing in the morning--with still a full day to explore the city, play some more music and meet up with old friends... And so Trip Number Three of my 07-08 tour comes to an end...
