Last week
of summer already.
As I said
in my latest blog post, we must make the most out of the summertime.
Even if it
rains for an entire month. (the joy of Belgian summers)
Escaping
the rain and wind, I travelled to Madrid with some of my closest friends for a well-deserved
vacation.
A few
highlights:
Mercado de
San Miguel – food hall with delicious tapas.
Calle
Barcelona – and the streets around it are filled with little tapas restaurants.
Museo
Nacional del Prado – the most beautiful museum I’ve been to. The museum is free
for student so don’t forget to bring your student card with you if you have one!
Parque del Buen
Retiro – a hug park within the city. Not far from the Prado Museum. Don’t
forget to bring a picnic.
Ermita de
San Antonio de la Florida – this chapel has frescoed ceilings as painted by
Goya. Absolutely beautiful. It’s also Goya’s resting place.
Basilica de
San Francisco El Grande – My love for church architecture knows no boundaries. This
one was definitely on the ‘to visit’ list. Its dome is the largest in Spain and
the fourth largest in the world.
Love,
Sara
Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say. Just like children sleepin', we could dream this night away.
Harvest moon - Neil Young
If you are planning a trip to Madrid (you should!) make sure to add an extra day to visit Toledo.
