Madrid

July 20, 2018 admin

That’s the end of my short stay in Madrid, which was unfortunately just a little too hot. But, I’ll have to come again as I have two metro journeys left unused on my ticket, and I want to make the most of them. I might well come back during a slightly cooler period of the year though….

It’s a rather lovely city, although I only got to explore a relatively small part of it. Not quite as vibrant as Seville, and perhaps not quite as historic as I had expected, but still full of atmosphere and character.

This site is the ‘fascinating’ (OK, it’s not that fascinating I admit) story of my travels around the world over the last few years. I’m conscious that there is so much more to visit, and I’ll do my best to carry on travelling as much as I can. I wouldn’t take anything too seriously, because I’ve rarely managed to…..

For previous adventures, here’s 2013-2018 and also 2019.
