It’s happened many times before. As soon as you set foot in Madrid, you can’t help but think “what a buzz!”. There’s something in the air, an inspiring energy that fills you with positivity. Maybe it’s the sun, or the warmth of the locals, but you’re immediately drawn to the city and want to experience more. A simple stroll shows you that in Madrid it’s possible to live life to the full and enjoy every moment. Life is celebrated in its streets, in its markets, on its terraces and at its summer festivals. You see people laughing in the parks and you long to join the fun.
Madrid is waiting to be discovered, and you want to do this at your own pace because you know that its true essence is found in the smallest of details. In its artisan trades, passed down from generation to generation. Or in its gastronomy, because sitting on a high stool at a bar in Madrid, enjoying some tapas in good company, you’ll learn more about the city than a hundred guidebooks could ever teach you. Take it all in. Contemplate Velázquez´s Las Meninas for a whole hour. Try your hand at Spanish and rub shoulders with locals. Dance the chotis at a street party. Make friends. Because that’s what life’s all about, isn’t it?
What is it about Madrid? If life were a city, it would be this one. It would be Madrid.
