Madrid - Spain
The first true stop on our European tour.
Madrid is the capital city of Spain and is steeped in history.
We were in Madrid for 2 days and explored to our hearts content.
Come and explore with us.
01
Hiding at the train station
From a time where beuty was as important as function. These trams were parked in the train station right next to the incoming modern trains.
02
Temple of Debod
Last thing that you expect in Spain is an Egyptian Temple but here we are. Built over 2000 years ago and a present from Egypt, it was loaded onto lorries and moved 2855 miles to its present home.
03
Palacio Real De Madrid
The Royal Palace of Madrid and the largest in Europe as the king found out his was smaller so had some rooms added until it was the largest. Well worth a visit just be prepared to queue.
04
Cathedral de la Alumna
A stunning Roman Catholic cathedral. Building began is 1883 and it was consecrated by the Pope in 1993. Located next to the Royal Palace and stunning.
05
Tapas Tour
We enjoyed a fantastic local tour for tapas and wine. A very knowledgable guide showed us his city, its people and its cultures. We even found the exact centre of Spain.
