TOP 10

Here is my list of Madrid Top 10. But first, you have to understand that I've been here just for 2 months, so for sure I have not seen everything. Secondly, it is MY list, it is subjective. So when you come to Madrid (and you have to come:), you will have your own list. However those are the places that I love about Madrid, they have something special: a feeling, an action, people and the atmosphere that I cannot grasp right now. At the end of my stay I will make another Top 10 list with a deeper thought to reasons. Here we go,


# 1 Cibeles. Metro Banco de Espana. Just gorgeous. The first place I went  when  arrived to Madrid

#2 Casa de Campo. Huge park, during dry season looks more like a safari. Perfect for sports.

#3 Templo de Debot. The gift from Egyptian government - an ancient temple! :)

#4 Parque del Buen Retiro. A gorgeous park in the center of the city from XVI century.

#5 Lavapies.  A part of Madrid full of flavor: a mixture of immigrants from Asia and Africa, delicious food, great outdoors bars/cafes, galleries. Pictures to come.

#6 La biblioteca nacional. Nacional Library of Spain. Love the building. 10.000.000 of books inside. Beauty and the brains :)

#7 Las Ventas. La Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas. The largest bullring in Spain.Built in 1931. Check out beautiful statues of toreros outiside. 

#8 San Jeronimo el Real. A church from 16th century on the left side from Prado. 

#9 Estadio de Santiago Bernabeo. what can I say, except that . . . Hala Madrid!!!

#10 Almudena cemeterio. The largest cemetery in Madrid. Was there during the All Saints Holiday. With sun and a lot of people around not that scary. But imagine grey sky, no one around and 120 hectares of a cemetery.
