You can't go to Madrid and not visit the Prado can you?! It's AMAZING there, so much to see, a really great collection you really must must go when you go to Madrid!

Everyone thinks of the Prado when they think of Madrid, and for a very good reason! It's simply magnificent, the collection and the buildings are superb. Definitely one of the best galleries i've ever been to.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about bullfighting, and so we didn't see a show but we did go to look at Madrid's Bullring, the most famous in the world pretty much. It's a very imposing and slightly terrifying place, but the outside is so interesting to look at. Look for the pottery shields of all Spain's provinces, and the Puerto Grande where the successful (=alive?) matadors leave the arena.

You can't come to Madrid and not go here, can you? I was totally taken with it, the collection in general and the building were both superb. I loved the Velazqeuz and Goya art the best I think because I haven't had much chance to see anything by them and it was a real treat.
