For most college-aged kids gallivanting around Europe, Barcelona is all the rage. I, too, for a time, was under the same impression. Barcelona feels truly European, unlike any other city in Spain, and it's coastal location and Gaudí creations mean it is not a stop to be missed. But after my weekend trip to Madrid, I say, Barcelona, Shmarcelona. Madrid is the Spanish city. Madrid is Spain. And for someone with an Andalusian spirit and years of studying Spanish and Latin American culture under her belt, Madrid is it.
Some artistic highlights, including Dalí, Picasso, Miró, and a few others...
...fave photo of the weekend...
...gorgeous day in Parque Retiro...
...Madrid marketplace, fruit and veggie stands, fishmongers, and a whole lot of chatty people drinking wine in excess and grabbing mini bites from various food stands...
...and the whole trip (minus one cranky sisters-be-sisters day) was so fun because I was able to spend time with Becca Boo...
Here we are in front of the royal palace.
