MY TOUR TO MADRID

Last month I went to Madrid, Burgos and Bilbao with my school for five days. In general all of the places that I visited were very beautiful. In my opinion, Madrid was more beautiful than the rest places that we visited. For this reason, in this composition, I’m going to explain only the third first days of my trip.

Monday 22 of March, at four o’clock the alarm clock rang. Oh no! I was very tired and I was sleepy because during all the night I couldn’t, I was too nervous to sleep. I got up, I dressed myself, I had breakfast and I went to Banyoles. The bus left at five o’clock in the morning, my classmates and I slept during the trip.

At three o’clock we arrived in Madrid. Everything was big: the parks, the streets, the skyscrapers, the pollution, the quantity of people and transports… When we entered the big capital of Spain, I was very touched. Never I had imagined Madrid like the capital that I was visualizing.

First, we went to the Josefina hostel. The hostel was small but very comfortable. Then we went to the Reina Sofia museum: the museum was good but the explanations of the paintings were very boring. After the visit to the museum,we went to the hostel and then we had dinner in a restaurant called FresCo. For me, the food was good because I liked the pizza a lot. At the night, some classmates came to my hotel room and we talked and watched the TV for many hours. Finally everyone came back to their rooms and slept.

23 of March 8 a.m . We got up, dressed up and had breakfast, then, we visited the most important monuments, streets and buildings. We went by bus. During the route by bus, we saw the Cibeles square, the buildings of the Spain bank and the post office, the football stadium Santiago Bernabeu… Later, we visited the Prado museum and the Retiro Park. The Park was amazing but the water of its pond was dirty. I think that the visit to the museum el Prado was more interesting and active than the visit to the Reina Sofía museum. Then we had free time to lunch and to take a walk around the city. My group had lunch in the “museum del Jamón”, then we came back to the hostel and after that we went shopping. At night we had dinner and then with my classmates we went to a musical bar.

24 of March, after we got up, dressed up, had breakfast, tidied our room, packed our bags and bought our lunch in a restaurant, we took up the bus and went to the other side of Madrid. We visited the Royal palace, the Almudena cathedral and the Egyptian temple. Finally we had lunch and got on the bus to go to Burgos

This is my tour in Madrid, two intensive days. Madrid is big and beautiful and I think that in some years’ time I will return to the capital to enjoy it more and more, especially the nights.
