On August 2007, I visited Madrid again!! I made it there! I first visited this city when I was a 8-year-old boy so I couldn't remember anything about it..

I spent here 3 days and this was enough to visit the main sites and monuments. I took a guided sightseeing tour, which was the best thing to do if you have few days. We really found hot weather in Spain and, as the forecast said, those days were the hottest experienced in Madrid during summer 2007. One day we had 45-50 C degrees, and in that case a hat and sunglasses were a must... and drinking lots of water and stay in the shades when possible of course!

At night we got around and visit many clubs near Puerta Del Sol..

I practised my Spanish a little bit and I found out I'm not so bad at it :-))

    Great tips and photos. I especially like the story about you and the German girl in the Bourbon Café. Great example of seizing the day! Best from New Jersey, Bill

    Buon giorno! Il Museu del Jamòn è il posto ideale per i panini imbottiti a Madrid. Mi piace. Ciao!
