So Ryanair held a £2 flight sale that lasted a day. The catch was that you could only fly out on a Tuesday or Wednesday in November. At this time I had just graduated, and I was only working 4 days a week. Tuesday happened to be my day off too. So I booked myself a little day trip to Madrid in Spain. I flew out early in the morning and flew back at night. The flight was 2 hours but Mainland Europe only has a 1 hour time difference from England.
Take a look at how I spent a day in Madrid…
Madrid City Hall was my first stop. It was located on the side of a roundabout which put me off trying to get closer. But the building is so beautiful. I found the architecture in general to be beautiful in Madrid.
Sangria Sangria Sangria…I have been longing to try this for a long time. I seriously don’t know how I did not drink it in Barcelona? Oh well. This drink is a blend of red wine, fruit, and orange juice.
Parque del Buen Retiro was the next stop. They have a lake where people cruise along on little rowing boats.
A trip to Spain is never complete without some juicy tapas. So I went to San Miguel Mercado to load up on some paella and olives. The one thing that I did not get to eat was churros…but I’m sure there will be plenty more trips to Spain in the future.
