Madrid!

So I am back from my long weekend in Madrid and it was a great time to say the least. We had perfect weather and saw some amazing things!
Madrid was just such a great city, there was never a dull moment and there is no need for planning. All we had to do was walk out of the hotel doors and there were shops, places to eat, bars and clubs all right there. The first place that we studied was the airport we landed at in Madrid. The Barajas Airport "terminal 4" designed by Richard Rogers-see the picture below


Once we left the airport we went to our hotel which was right in the Madrid Puerta del Sol. This is the picture of the street the hotel was on. 

Among the building and sites we visited were the Royal Palace, Prado Museum, Caixa Forum designed by Herzog and de Meuron, Reina Sofia (where we saw Dali and Picaso originals) as well as many others. Below is the Royal Palace. 

Right across the street was club Joy where we went on the last night which did not compare at all to the club Kapital we "studied" on friday night. This place was absolutely insane, unlike any other club I have been to. So to sum it all up, Madrid was amazing I loved every second of it. Next stop is Toledo!

Adios!
