Madrid

Finally, after only four months I find the time to finish the last travelblog of my trip. Sitting at the moment in Denver/USA and am a bit bored. So I decided to do something useful. Hope I still remember everything….

Madrid was on the list of cities to visit as I had to fly through it anyway. I thought it nicely breaks up the long flight and I haven’t been to Spain before.

The one thing that is quite noticeable is that there is so much more variety of food available here than in South America and Australia. I am still surprised that the Europeans are not the fattest people on earth as there is yummy stuff on every strt corner here.

Most of the time I walked around the city in the blistering heat. Somehow, Europe managed to have a really good summer this year with temperatures of over 35 degrees.

Madrid also boasts some of the worlds most famous art museums of which I visited the Prado and the Reina Sofia museum. Both are full of paintings ranging from Picassos to artist I have never heard of.

Madrid is a great city as it has lots of things to do, is pleasant enough to walk around, has a great nightlife and more bars than are good for any liver.


Not much more to write about. If you ever have a couple of spare days and are in Spain then I recommend spending a couple of days here.
