Let's go to the Capitol!
August 5, 2017 Today we are going to Madrid! The roundtrip was quickly and easily booked via "blalbacar". Taking a train or bus would have been more expensive, slower and unpractical. Therefore we decided to leave early Saturday morning at 6am so that we would arrive...

Spain, Day Three
We have already seen most of Madrid, however simply looking at buildings isn't the same as understanding their historical importance. Of course, you can always Google all these facts, but in my opinion that is a very boring approach. Therefore, we went on a free walking...

Spain, Day One

Madrid - My Majesty! (Part 1)
Why should I visit Madrid? It’s hard to explain why I visited Madrid; when arrived at Tarragona, near Barcelona, for my one year exchange, many friends advised me against visiting Madrid, they said Barcelona is better than Madrid. To compare, Barcelona is more...

I spent less than 200 euros for 4 days in Madrid and here's how I did it.
You do not know me well if you do not know that I love traveling but I am also always broke. If you follow me on social media you probably know that two months ago I spent four days in Spain with my best friend. "So how did you pay for the trip Cris if you claim you are...

Madrid: Sushi

Madrid: Pizza
I am extremely fond of pizza (and pasta); Italian food is probably something which I can eat every day and not get tired of it. However, it has to be good, and when I say good, I don't mean any Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's or Telepizza. Out of all these big pizza...
