Madrid, una de las capitales más visitadas de Europa, ha evolucionado para convertirse en un destino de cinco estrellas en el turismo de lujo, atrayendo a viajeros que, en el pasado, quizás no consideraban la ciudad como una parada esencial. Esta metrópolis no solo es un centro de arte, cultura e historia, sino que también está repleta de anécdotas fascinantes que reflejan su rica herencia. En la Calle de Cervantes, por ejemplo, se encuentra la casa donde vivió y murió Miguel de Cervantes, autor del célebre "Don Quijote". Curiosamente, su rival literario, Lope de Vega, vivió en la misma calle, creando un eje literario único en la historia de la literatura española. La Calle Mayor es otro lugar emblemático, marcado por la historia. Fue aquí donde un atentado con bomba casi acabó con la vida del rey Alfonso XIII y su esposa en 1906, un evento que marcó profundamente la ciudad y su historia monárquica. No menos famosa es la Calle de las Huertas, conocida por su vibrante vida nocturna y su conexión con el Siglo de Oro español. Aquí vivieron escritores como Quevedo y Góngora, cuyas rivalidades literarias son legendarias. Hoy, las citas de estos autores adornan la calle, añadiendo un toque literario único a su ambiente. Finalmente, la Gran Vía, conocida por su arquitectura impresionante y teatros históricos, es un símbolo de modernidad y resistencia. Durante la Guerra Civil, sufrió intensos bombardeos, pero sobrevivió para contar su historia. Estas anécdotas y lugares son solo una muestra de lo que hace de Madrid un destino tan especial y buscado en el panorama turístico europeo. La ciudad no solo ofrece lujo y sofisticación, sino también una inmersión en historias y cultura que la hacen única. En esta guía encontrarás los super MUSTS, y algunos de mis lugares favoritos, para ver Madrid sin perderse nada fundamental pero con el toque especial de una madrileña que añora su ciudad natal.

Things to see and do and specifically food tips!

A two and a half week visit starting in Madrid and followed by a road-trip across northern Spain crossing the Aragon, Navara, Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia regions. This was an adult-only trip that focused on enjoying the best experiences and finest ingredients across the various regions. Hotels on this itinerary are high to very high end. There are some Bonvoy hotels included because loyalty programs work! Seeing the changes between regions was fascinating. The physical landscapes ranged from semi arid with huge sunflower fields dotting the highway, to mountain ranges that were mixed in the distance with clouds, to rolling green hills and banging coast line with surfers, families and friends enjoying the beautiful beaches all along the way. Galicia was the sleeper hit for us. The whole north coast of Spain is quieter than Malaga, Valencia etc. and Galicia is heavy on domestic tourism. Galicia is also a great add on for those visiting Portugal.
