Trip to **MADRID**

Hi guys!! The 29 of March i went , with my lovely classmates in Madrid,a very beautiful city in the centre of  Spain...I spent 5 amazing days even if  this trip was really hard because we walked a lot to see all of the museums and important buildings that everyone should see if he goes in a city as rich of culture as Madrid..But now i'm really pleased to tell everyone what happened in in this short/long  time..

The 29th of March rappresented  the beginnig of this amazing experience:I was really happy and i couldn't wait to go away from Italy..  We left it at 9:30 p.m and we arrived in Madrid's airoport at 11:50 pm..(maybe)..I spent a quiet fly because it was not the first time..

                                                           When we arrived there we were waiting for the arrival of the    bus                                           and            this was the view

    that appeared to our  eyes: we were finally in the long awaited Spanish

     territory..At the beginning i was a bit miffed because we didn't find the bus (but i think  i felt in this way just because i was  tired after the flight)..

While we were  going to the hotel that is in "calle de Atocha" i looked to what there was outside and in this  this moment  i realised i was in Madrid..When we arrived to the hotel the landlady gave us the respective keys for each group and so we settled there..As you can imagine we didn't sleep and we talked all the night..infact the next day i was really sleepy..When we left the hotel everything was better to see under the light of the sun:                           

Close to our hotel there was a little but welcoming restaurant where we always had   brekfast and dinner and here we ate  typical food like paella or tortillas the patatas..Every morning we ate a very good brekfast that gave us enought energies for all of the morning

The first day we saw a big place called "plaza mayor" where on the middle there's the statue of Filippo III of Spain.in this place  i brethed a theatrical  atmosphere because it was very very big..Then we went to the     "Royal chapel of St.Anthony of la Florida" where in the aspe Goya painted the Adoration of the Trinity..Later we visited the museum "Reina Sofia" where we saw lots of works of Salvador Dali' and Picasso..like Guernica for example..

                                                     We even saw the spectacular station of Atocha,that is not like the others  one but is full of trees, birds and a hundred of little or big  turtles ( i was really excited infact i've never seen something like  this)..The same  night i saw with my eyes what people feel when they see  a "flamenco" show in front of them..I saw how they put in passion, diligence, and they kept smiling even if dancing flamenco is not very easy.The same night we even tasted the tipycal drink ,the "Sangria".I must change my idea about hanging around in the night, infact it was not dangerous(surely if you don't got into troubles).However i tested how the "madrileños" like to stop for a bit  to enjoy something with their friends(thing that here is rare).

The next day whe saw the museum Thyssen-Bornemisza where we saw some works of the Renaissance,of the classic period,of the Flemish painting etc..

Then we saw the royal palace (i can't explain how beautiful  it is, there are lots of rooms and each of them has got a name that refers to the color of the walls or to his function  for example). Then we saw the "calle the arenal".

The 31 of March we saw the academy of St. Fernando that include works of Italian and Spanish teachers. Then we saw the "Fountain of Cibeles" that is the most important symbol of Madrid.We even saw The Hard Rock..where there are lots of guitars,  dresses , or just symbols of the biggers of the rock music and not only.The last day i was really sad because when i woke up i thought "Oh my God this is the last day in this beautiful city". Is that i really liked walking around the town, around the bigs and the small roads, and i really miss how people were kind to you..even if they were busy..Staying in Madrid showed me how people prefer to put first of all their hapiness,but never get tiring of their lifestyle or customs that they appreceate and valorize..
To conclude i really miss every single little thing of Madrid..and i hope i'll returne there soon..
