Ole Madrid!!

The capital of Madrid, Spain is a dramatic cosmopolitan city characterised by intense cultural and artistic activity with a very lively nightlife. Walking through the capital city was a pretty magnificent feeling with the blend of historical and modern architecture that creates the unique atmosphere to Madrid.

The capital of Madrid is also home to one of the most prestige’s soccer clubs in the world Real Madrid and their stadium Santiago Bernabeu. I was fortunate enough to have time to spend a whole day taking a tour of the stadium and seeing where all the champion players train, eat, dress and prepare for the big games. I was also lucky enough to snap a couple photos of the few dozen trophies that the club claims. Madrid is also full of artistic culture and hosts the largest Plaza de Toros (bullfighting) in Spain called Las Ventas seating almost 25,000 spectators to watch the bullfights between March and October. Madrid is also renowned for its vivid and exciting nightclubs and nightlife with spectacular events that take part all throughout the year. Located all throughout the city are spectacular bars, pubs and restaurants serving an amazing array of traditional and delicious Spanish foods and drinks. Your only worry is choosing what you’re going to order from the menu first!

The cheapest, fastest and most exciting way to travel through the city of Madrid is taking the famous high speed Metro. For only 2 Euros you can get from one side of the city to the next within a few short minutes while experiencing a fun and exciting ride. If you are looking for an exploration of culture, history, art and modern atmosphere then Madrid is the place to go!
