Real Madrid!

So after spending some time in San Sebastian, my friend Kevin and I took an early bus to Madrid, the capital of Spain! After the five hour bus ride back to Madrid we dropped our stuff off at the hotel, and headed into the center of the city to check out some of the major sites. We grabbed what we though was going to be a quick bite to eat at a little cafe, but it turned into a 2 hour meal with our waiter totally ignoring us, but that's fine cause the food was awesome! So after that we finally got into the city to look around.


Our first stop was the Metropolis building in the center of the city an office building that you can't miss! We then checked out the Puerta Del Sol. You can see on the right side of the picture below a clock tower. This bells of this clock signal the start of the eating of the 12 grapes on New Years!


Also in this square is El Oso Y El Madrono statue, this statue of a bear and a tree is a symbol of Madrid!


We checked out the statue of Don Quixote statue in the Plaza de Espana


and a quick stop at the Royal Palace of Madrid


and we stumbled across the Mercado of San Miguel


and we ended our wandering adventure with another amazing Spanish sunset!


After an awesome day of exploring the city we decided to end the night in a traditional Spanish way and went to a Flamingo dancing show! This was definitely one of the coolest things I've seen this show had singers, dancers, musicians, and an amazing dinner!



And of course no trip to Spain is complete without some more amazing Spanish wine and paella! The paella was definitely one of my favorite meals!


Absolutely fell in love with Spain and everything I saw, after having the time of my life it was time for the next stop on my adventure, Ireland!
