Today, my son took me all the way to the plane. The Spaniards basically didn't speak English. We went straight to the Prado Museum from the airport and looked at the beautiful exhibits and scenery with our red blood eyes. This season, Spain is very comfortable, neither hot nor cold. [Sun]

Palaces
利坞德宋应星
It is a testimony to Spanish history and a fine artwork. As soon as I entered the palace, I was struck by its splendor. The architectural style of the palace blends Spanish tradition and Renaissance elements, and it is solemn and magnificent. The white marble walls and red roofs are interspersed with an elegant and noble atmosphere. Walking through the palace halls and corridors, enjoying beautiful murals and sculptures and gold and silverware. I feel the weight of history, the charm of art and the diversity of culture. I highly recommend everyone to visit here, I believe everyone will be impressed by its beauty and history. Tip: Photographs are not allowed after entering the exhibition hall. Only the history of it can be recorded with eyes.

Stadiums
Anonymous User
(Non-Real Madrid fans), the opening is much less than the Premier League stadium before, the stadium turf is not installed, just the upper grandstand and trophy exhibition room is opened, there is no stadium floor, no dressing room, no news interview room, etc. There is an additional charge for taking pictures on the spot. I have asked the staff many times whether they charge, but I just replied: If you want to take a photo, you can take it if you don't want to take it. You can print it until the end of the court, and you need to charge 15 euros for 1 photo. The toll staff was not very patient. At first, I thought that "one five" meant a photo of 5 euros, because a total of 3 photos were taken, and the result was "15 euros". When I took out 5 euros, the staff turned to the sky with white eyes and felt not very friendly. There are people selling the membership card of Real Madrid throughout the process, interrupting the feeling of visiting. Just like this, punch a card, the stadium is large, and the trophy exhibition room is quite spectacular.

The location is excellent, the shape is strong, and the viewing is very strong, but the scene is a bit bloody for the Chinese, but it is very used to the European Spaniards! It is an important learning base for a deep understanding of bullfighting culture.

The site of the Puerta del Sol, originally a gate facing the east on the 15th century Madrid wall, was named after the upper floor decorated with the pattern of the rising sun; in the continuous expansion of the city, the gate was demolished in 1570. The square, which was built, retained the name of "Puerta del Sol" and gradually became the center of the city. From the aerial aerial view, the 10 streets and alleys are radiant, like the rising sun and shining. In the center of the square, oval fountains on both sides of the east and west, surrounded by the statue of Carlos III sitting in the C position. The king, who built Madrid's vast infrastructure and was admired by the people of Madrid, rode a high-headed horse and sat smilingly watching the wind and clouds of the square and the changes of the city. On the south side is the most classic building in the square - the Security Bureau Building. The building built from 1766 to 1768 (the bell tower was built in 1867), the simple and bright style, the red and white facade, conveying the atmosphere of neoclassical palace architecture. The building was originally the central post office in Madrid, later the headquarters of the Franco-era Ministry of National Security, and is now the government office building in Madrid. For quite a while, the Spanish people loved the clock on the roof of the Security Bureau building, and regarded the clock as Spanish standard time, and it was honored to come here to watch. Today, people gather in the square to listen to the New Year bells of the building. On the north side, four slightly curved buildings lined up all the way, with stylish facades and white crystals; The top of the building is towering "TIO PEPE" (the world's first brand of sherry) advertising, exaggerated with elegance, cute cute. The ground of the street in front of the main entrance of the Security Bureau building is embedded with the road zero kilometers logo. Semicircular logo engraved with maps of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula and the words "0 km, road starting point". Spanish roads calculate miles from this point, Madrid streets prepare house numbers from this point. Without a shadow, the shoes underfoot have not set foot in Madrid.

The Plaza Mayor adds a bit of laziness to the bustling Puerta del Sol. When I walk into this square "complex" from Madrid's old neighborhood, I immediately feel a unique atmosphere! The square has 9 arches connecting the outer streets.

Originally the spiritual retreat of Spain’s ultimate power couple, Isabella and Ferdinand, Retiro evolved into a pleasure palace when the rather less devout Felipe IV wore the crown. Built by his valido (the equivalent of Prime Minister), the Conde Duque de Olivares, more than 20 buildings went up between 1630 and 1660 to please the playboy king who enjoyed balls, theater and reenactments of naval battles performed on the park’s central lake. The Palacio de Velazquez is not the only Reina Sofía gallery nearby. Venture further south and you’ll come upon the Palacio de Cristal, a huge greenhouse built in 1887 to house flora brought over from the Philippines — then a Spanish colony. Sadly, at the time, Filipino natives were also brought over and forced to live in their “natural habitat” by the side of the ornamental pond outside. The dark history of this human zoo was rightly exposed and condemned in a 2021 exhibition by Filipino artist, Kidlat Tahimik, held in the space.

Madrid must check in, Cervantes and Don Quixote statues stand here. It is also close to the Palace of Madrid and Puerta del Sol. On the hill to the west, there is a temple of Debo, which is presented by Egypt to Spain. On the hill, you can not only overlook the Palace, but also overlook Madrid.

Even if you’re not looking for food, walking through is a fun way to overview Madrid’s general culinary scene. The whole market is huge, and you’ll have to walk through a couple loops if you want to get a good idea of all the options (which I recommend doing anyways).
