A 3 day-Weekend in Madrid

I strongly believe that the best way to get in touch with the culture and traditions of a country is to visit different cities that identify it. As far as Spain is concerned, this concept is even stronger because Catalonia and Andalusia are similar in some ways but different in others and crossing different cities to get to know the different facets is the best thing and the one I recommend. This trip turned out to be wonderful and I hope it will be helpful to those who want to plan a tour similar to the one I did. Spain is a land that transmits positivity. The weather is almost always good and sunny, the people very sociable and helpful, the food very good and the culture very strong and identifying.

Puerta de Alcalá

On the opposite end of the Paseo del Prado, east of the Plaza de Cibeles, you can find the famous Puerta de Alcala, a beautiful gate that sits in the middle of the Plaza de la Independencia. The gate is another one of Madrid's most iconic sights right at the north-west corner of El Retiro. 

An iconic monument that represents the historical greatness of Madrid. In addition, its imposing architecture and its emblematic location make it a reference point for visitors and a lasting symbol of the city.
