El Prado Museum
by Luisanna
Visiting Madrid means a couple of very important sites and El Prado Museum is on the top of my list. I really enjoyed walking through the corridors and imagining what took place when many of those paintings where being painted. Some extraordinary paintings from the best in the world. Among El Greco, Goya, Rembrandt and Velasquez, gosh the list continues. We walked with a tour on our visit and it's facinating hearing the stories behind each piece. I highly recommend a stop in one the worlds best museums.

This paint is from Mingote, is in Calle Sal, just in direction to the Plaza Mayor.
Mingote comic paints had been in the newspapers with others as Summer, Forbes Chummy Chumez and more.
This one is very castizo lol

If you are in Madrid go watch a game of Real Madrid, a club who has won the Europe Cup several times. The club is very popular amongst the madrilenes and the football stadium is hughe and cool looking. Another club in Madrid are Atletico Madrid who plays in the Calderon stadium. Real Madrid is located at the Avenida de Concha Espina
San Lorenzo de El Escorial (1)
by andal13
Escorial is a town on the hills, where is the most awsome building of Provincia de Madrid: San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Monastery, palace, church, library, royal pantheon, its construction was ordered by King Felipe II (Philip the Second) at 1563.
The town by the monastery is quiet and nice, and there I spent the first (and only) "white Christmas" of my life.
(If you want more info, you can check my El Escorial page.)
El Escorial es un pueblo en la sierra, en donde se encuentra el más impresionante edificio de la Provincia de Madrid: San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Monasterio, palacio, iglesia, biblioteca, panteón real, su construcción fue ordenada por el Rey Felipe II en 1563. El pueblo ubicado en las cercanías del monasterio es tranquilo y bonito, y en él pasé la primera (y única) "Navidad blanca" de mi vida.

T.G.I. Friday's
by ValbyDK about T.G.I. Friday's
TGI Friday’s is a restaurant and bar in the centre of Madrid - but I only hang out at the bar so can’t comment on their food.
I ended up at TGI Friday's a Friday evening – and it turned out to be a really funny evening/night.
Nice atmosphere and good selection of beers and drinks… Casual dress code.
