Introduction to tourist attractions in Madrid, Spain

Introduction: The trip to Spain that I have always longed for came true unexpectedly when I followed my boyfriend back to my hometown. I felt both excited and nervous. Perhaps in order to match our idiotic style, the suitcase filled with gifts for Xiao Ma’s relatives actually missed the connecting flight and was stranded in Moscow. A blessing in disguise, go to Gran Via for some shopping at your first stop in Madrid! Introduction to tourist attractions in Madrid, Spain

Gran Via Street

Before departure, I looked at the online guide, what? The scenic spots are all arranged by Xiao Ma. The only designated one is Gran Via, the most famous shopping street in Madrid. Literally translated, it is called "Street". Madrid people are very straightforward and not fancy at all. Compared with the Champs Elysées in Paris, the brands here are much more friendly to the people. Of course, Zara and Bershka are among the brands that we are familiar with in China. In addition, there are many local Spanish brands with very good styles and prices, but most of them have similar styles.

Retiro Park

Retiro Park is one of the must-visit attractions in Madrid. With such good weather, if you have time, sit by the lake or on the grass. It's really comfortable to sit and bask in the sun. I can’t help but sigh that although China has a vast land and abundant resources, in an international metropolis like Shanghai, it is almost impossible to find such a park in the urban area. Looking at the scene in front of me, I really can't think of any reason to continue to stay in Shanghai. Is the meaning of life just to work hard in a high-rise building from 9 to 5, earning a salary that is barely enough to survive?

　Templo de Debod Temple of Debod

? The Temple of Debord is an ancient Egyptian temple rebuilt offsite in Madrid. The temple was built in the 2nd century BC and was originally located 15 kilometers south of Aswan, Egypt. It was dedicated to the goddess Isis. In 1960, due to the need to build the Aswan High Dam, many monuments and archaeological sites were in danger. UNESCO has launched an international call to protect these threatened historical heritage sites. In the end, as a thank you for Spain's help in protecting the Abu Simbel Temple, the Egyptian government donated the temple to Spain, and Spain completed its reconstruction in Madrid in 1968. ?

?Palacio Real de Madrid

I heard that the Royal Palace of Madrid is the third largest palace in Europe after the Palace of Versailles in Paris and the Sch?nbrunn Palace in Vienna, but it looks like it has a long entrance. There was a long line of people, thinking that I would come again in the future, so I didn’t have the heart to queue up to visit. And I heard that Ma once brought his Japanese ex-girlfriend for a trip, which made me feel a little disdainful. On the contrary, the small garden behind the palace has the feeling of a European palace in the movie. At this time, there should be a handsome guy beside me to take a walk with me.

The Westin Palace Westin Palace Hotel

After walking for a day, in order to satisfy my desire to show off from time to time, Xiao Ma took me to this century-old restaurant for a drink Coffee break. It is estimated that the old five-star hotels in Europe are not as comfortable as the new hotels in China, but they are better because they have a sense of historical vicissitudes. The waiters in the lobby bar also have a sense of history, and their service attitude is very average, which is a bit disappointing. Ma said that he would bring me here to stay on some anniversary date in the future. I have a bad memory, so I will write it down here first.

Segovia

Segovia is a historic city in Spain, about an hour's drive from Madrid. One of the reasons I like Europe is that everything is close and there are so many options for weekend getaways. The most famous thing here is the aqueduct that brought water from the mountains to the villages below. However, when I sent the photo to my mother, she said, "Oh, we used to have this aqueduct in the countryside." ?The tall image of European historical monuments was instantly destroyed.

Compared with the ancient cities in Belgium, I prefer Segovia. Looking at the open space, it feels more majestic without losing the sense of history.

In addition to the above attractions, we also visited some must-see attractions in Madrid, Puerta del Sol, Prado Museum, etc. But overall, I didn’t go to many attractions on this trip to Madrid, but it was enough to make me fall in love with this city. I feel very lucky to have fallen in love with Ma’s city so easily. There is no doubt that I will come back.
