Leaving Madrid

at Parque Del Retiro. I love the lake!
Today's my last day in Madrid. I will be meeting my Spanish friend, David, again. We're heading to the park because even though I told him I had been to the park with Henri two days ago, I never saw any lake (we probably didn't walk further in) and David said "are you sure you went to the park?!" hahahah.

Madrid's been great so far. Before i came to Spain, everyone kept telling me not to spend too much time here because "there is nothing much in Madrid". Well i see where they're coming from but a place is not all about the major things and the touristy sights. it's about its life and its people. I've had my fair share of walking alone for hours in Madrid, exploring the little corners of the city and walking to the fringe of the city, entering the shops and talking to the people.. and i must say, i love this place :)

Anyways, in less than 24 hours, i would be in LIVERPOOL!

ohh but Granada is very lovely too! I’m in love with the place! Madrid is very special to me as well. I will definitely go back there someday, for a longer period of time. I will be doing another immersion program in Spain next year and I’m having a tough time choosing between the two cities!

The thing you said about Madrid being more about the people and lifestyle is so true! I couldn't have said it better myself! I went to Granada for 3 months last fall because everyone kept telling me "Don't go to Madrid, its like Chicago". Well, after coming home I decided I wanted to go back but this time would go where I had my heart set on and guess what, Madrid turned out to be home. :)
