It could be the most romantic thing a couple could do in Madrid . . .
Meet her at the bottom of the monument to Cervantes around 17:30 in the middle of the Plaza de Espana. The square is in the center of the city, but with big trees protecting precious quietness, roads full of cars finally entering into tunnels on three sides of the square and a fountain with a small pool: makes it an oasis of tranquility just few steps from crazy and always busy Gran Via.
Then take her for a short walk to the Templo de Depot. When you get there, around this time of the year, the sun will already start changing the sky into all those glorious and beautiful colors: pink, red, violet, light and baby pink . . . Do not pay attention to the tourists, they are always there. If you are lucky and the Temple is open, - enter, but never lose the sight of your girl, because guides can be mean there.
When you think you had enough of the beautiful view and it started to get chilly (as it usually does in Madrid after the sun disappears) take her to the Museo Cerralbo, which is again a short walk from where you are. It is warm and pretty in there. It was a house of a Madrid aristocrat - Marquez de Cerralbo. His wish was to make his house into a museum after his death with only one rule: all of the things have to stay together and never to be separated. The guides are nicer in there - so let your girl wonder around on her own and then find her and hug her making it, just for this moment, look and feel as if it were your own house. . .
