Madrid at Christmas .... so many colors ... local people ... always open. A little cold (thank goodness!) ... In short, the ideal.
24 dc. Starting with Vueling, a cheap flight, but abbstanza effective and safe, although the services are minimized. Arrive at destination and before exploration.
December 25 The city wakes up late. Are 9.30 and everything is still closed! Seem 7 am ... Oh well ... it will be Christmas week visit to Almudena Cathedral. Royal plazza, walk down Calle majors. Abase night dinner of paella (avoid absolutely the Maison du Jamon) and at night it dips in Chueca.
December 26 Try again. Wake up at 9.00. You go out for breakfast .... but all closed! Madrid is just a habit. Everything is slow ... time flows quietly and Madrid are not altrro who live at night (from 02.00 to 07.00) This is the era of re-movida! giornanta wandering between a shop and the other, de Cibeles square, Gran Via, Puerta del Sol and surroundings. Dinner based on good bull in one of the trendiest of the moment La Viuda Blanca.
December 27 A bit of culture ... visit to the Prado and the Reina Sofia. Wonderful are the works of Velasquez, Goya El Ribeira Greek not to mention Picasso's Guernica and works by Dali Futurist
December 28 Even museums: it is the turn of the private collection of Thiessey - Bormenisza, a collection of unique and rare to see dipezzi made by various authors and compiled in chronological order. There really is everything. Beautiful in some ways better than the Prado. Afternoon: stage at the Santiago Bernabeu and the Monumental Plaza de Toro: two real fights! Evening: experience at the Spanish Bingo: Ascoli numbers is nice, but it costs too much! 2 euro per page! Time to lose 40 euros and go on.
SHOPPING alternative to the marketplace Funcharral: my friend instead he launched on the purchase of fans and shawls Andalusians.
December 29 obligatory stop at the center of pastiicceria LA MALLORGUINA Sol .... then departure. The metro from the center connects the city directly to the airport.
