Spain

We had the opportunity to visit the stadium in a tour and in a match, and both of them were great. The experience at the match was really good, but to be honest it depends on who's playing of course, and that is pretty much it. However the visit to the museum was really interesting, it doesn’t matter if you’re not into football, it’s really entertaining, you can tell that the way they present the story of the team and the trophies is well planned, so I don't think you’ll get bored, and you can get some nice souvenirs for your family and friends

If you’re a film lover, this is a total must! There is a library called “8 y ½ libros de cine”  located in the Martín de los Heros, 11, Madrid and it’s the most recognized film themed book store in all the city! The place is just beautiful and it's filled with hundreds and hundreds of books about movies, biographies, scripts, and essays related to the audiovisual world. If you’re learning or you are just a fan of the seventh art you will love spending an afternoon there, you can have a coffee, take a seat and read a book, or maybe just hang with someone. The place is really good looking, with posters and stuff, and it’s totally recommended.

Our stay in Madrid was amazing, every single day we woke up early to visit the museums, go shopping, go on a tour and a lot of other things we had planned, We visited every touristic spot but the last day of our trip we decided to have a calmed day, everything was ready to leave but we had some time so we decided to go to the “Parque el retiro” To be honest, it’s nothing but a park, but I had the best time there, the park has a really big garden filled with big threes and beautiful flowers, everything is clean and well preserved, and there is a big monument to Alfonso XII surrounded by a pond were you can rent a boat and row your way through the water. It was a sunny day, so after the boat ride, we bought an Ice cream and we stayed there, it was so calmed and peaceful to look at the clouds, the flowers, or a squirrel or a duck that passed by.
