While on my Study abroad, I was a short train ride away from Madrid. I took full advantage of every chance I got to explore the city and fall in love with it. One particular weekend we also took a trip to Portugal which also captured my heart with its beautiful architecture and language.
 |
| What's more classic Spain that a good ole' Bullfighting match? |
 |
| I must admit, I was extremely nervous to watch a bullfight. |
 |
| Although this was not my favorite part, the whole event was a worthwhile experience. |
 |
| Sunday afternoon in el parque del Retiro. It's full of drum circles, slack lining, good food, and an amazingly calm atmosphere. |
 |
| I couldn't resist this adorable scene, that little girl LOVED the fountain. |
 |
| I literally became addicted to this park and the overall ambiance. |
 |
| Santa María la Real de La Almudena aka Madrid's Royal Cathedral, where all the Royal's get hitched. |
 |
| The edge of the Royal Palace and Cathedral courtyard provides break taking views of the city. |
 |
| Just in case you forgot how iconic bullfighting was for Spain, this street performer is there for you. |
 |
| On the odd chance that you don't know where you are going, don't worry, Portugal is that way. |
 |
| I love wandering around castle, this one was the Castelo de São Jorge in Lisboa, |
 |
| Super proud of their exploring and conquering past in their empirical days. |
 |
| The Carmo convent was destroyed by a massive Earthquake and the city left its beautiful structure up as a testament to it's strength and as an archaeological museum. |
 |
| Not very professional, but what an amazing Royal Throne! |
