Favorite Thing: Madrid (when compared with other European capitals) doesn't have amazing monuments, or enormous skyscrapers, or even romantic and charming riversides. But it's so full of life, of things to do and places to see that you will not miss any of the latter things.
Fondest Memory: Hard to choose one single moment as the fondest one, as many places of Madrid bring to my head sweet memories... However, I'll say that walking Gran Via on a sunny morning is fantastic experience. You can be amused with the local crowd (the most extravagant you are likely to find in the city) or enjoy with the finest architectural examples of Madrid. Your choice!!!

Favorite Thing: Placed in the northern mountains of Madrid province, San Lorenzo del Escorial it's a highly recommendable day visit if you want to escape for a while from Madrid intense activity (not to mention the traffic). There you could enjoy a visit to the famous Monastery, as well as wonderful natural views of the beautiful valley in which the town of San Lorenzo is placed. By the way, it's full of tourist during the weekends, so that's probably the days in which you wouldn't want to visit the place. ;-)
Fondest Memory: Please, visit my Escorial VT page for more info.

Favorite Thing: Former capital of Spain, Toledo is certainly one of Madrid's better daytrips. The city historic center, with its remarkable medieval flavor, was designated by Unesco as a world heritage place, and thus ensuring an endless succession of tourist shops, tourist restaurants and a healthy dose of traffic jams due to the presence of tour buses in the area. However, not being an "off the beaten path" location doesn't conceal Toledo any of its multiple attractions: The gothic cathedral, the imposing Alcazar, countless museums... this is a location that deserves a whole VT page (working on it ;-) )
