We’re just back from a kinda surprise trip to Madrid. Mia had arranged that as a Christmas gift.
We had a fantastic time, Madrid is a real city and we both felt right at home there.
The hotel Mia booked was located near the city center, 3 minutes walking from Puerta de Toledo.
On the first day we just wandered around and Mia had arranged dinner in a restaurant that serves typical MadridleƱa food. Since we had only a few days we decided that taking the city tours by bus would be a good option to see what Madrid all has to offer, so we did that on day two. In the afternoon we visited the Thyssen Museum and we had a lovely evening at several wine/tapa bars in La Latina area.
Our last day was reserved for the Prado where we spent quite some time to take in all the art. I could have spent hours looking at the truly amazing Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch!
Yesterday evening we came home and we promised each other that we will visit Madrid again soon!
