Hi guys.
How are you doing?
I was kinda busy for last few days because I had here another visit from the Czech Republic. This time it was my mother and her boyfriend. We spent few days in Barcelona together and then I wanted to visit Madrid so we decided to go there. I am very happy that they came to visit me.

How was Madrid.
Well, I gotta say that it is totally different than Barcelona. It is capital so there are lots of turists which I don' t mind. I am always fascinated by main square (plazza Mayor) and in Madrid is beautiful.

In Madrid you don' t need to take a metro because all main monuments are situated very close to each other. I like for example Plaza Espana. There is a statue of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

For sure you can' t miss Royal Palace. We also visited summer residence of the King which is situated few kilometres from Madrid. It is called Escorial.

Prado museum. Every saturday from 18:00 till 20:00 there is a free entrance. (also some other days but I don´t remeber, you have to check it). I saw really masterpieces like from Goya, Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt etc. Higly recommend to visit. I am happy that my stepfather convinced us to go there.

We also saw a strike close to Puerta de Alcala.

At the end of the day we made a stop in city called Zaragoza which is like 300 km from Barcelona. I have to admit that this city is really beatiful. Too pity that we didn´t have time to explore it more. I like the idea that on sunday evening-night all people are outside, well dressed and just enjoy the city. We were lucky because on sunday there was a celebration of anniversary of famous local cathedral.
