Madrid (Spain)

After Paris, I headed out to Madrid for a quick 24hrs visit and vacation with Andrew.  Our first night in the city we went out for a Spanish time dinner, and came back to the Westin Palace for an early night.  The next morning we headed out with Starbucks in hand to visit the city.  Madrid is a very easy city to visit, everything is relatively close, and almost everything is walking distance from one another.  As we didn't have much time, we decided to only visit the buildings and attractions, and avoid going on tours and in museums.

Here are a few spots we had the chance to go check out:

• Plaza Mayor (where the Christmas Market was being held)
• Royal Palace
• Teatro Real
• Plaza Oriente
• Prado Museum
• Retiro Park
• Casa de la Villa
• Plaza Santa Ana
• Palacio de las Cortes
• Plaza de las Cortes
• Las Ventas Bullring

After our little journey around the city, our friends Kenny and Myka came to join us.  Later on that night, I headed out to the airport and flew to back to Valencia.

This trip was absolutely amazing, and again, I will have the opportunity to go visit Madrid in greater depth in May!
