My flight back from Paris landed in Madrid, so I figured I might as well stay there for a night so I could see Madrid. It is a beautiful city, much larger and more modern than Granada, but quite dirty due to the city worker strike. All the city workers, specifically those that clean up the city, happened to be on strike the week I was there, super convenient. As a result, all the streets and plazas were full of trash, quite disgusting, but when ignoring the trash, the city is beautiful!
This plaza, called Plaza Mayor, is the center point of 6 different streets.
Madrid is full of street entertainment.

| The Royal Palace. |
Madrid's Cathedral.
It wouldn't be a traditional European city without a cathedral.
Plaza de España
The statues are of Don Quijote and Sancho Pancho, two famous characters in Spanish literature.
Debod Temple
My second day in Madrid, I went to a huge park, called Retiro Park. It was amazingly beautiful and relaxing, filled with flowers, grass, trees, fountains, statues, lakes, etc.
Not to mention the glass palace located in the center.
Thanks for reading!
