Spain… wow, if you haven’t been to Spain, you must! Of course by now I’m sure you can tell I have a huge passion for traveling and exploring and Spain has so many areas to explore.
The Spanish people are just so so fun!!! As in any other country, you will probably notice they have their own issues as a whole, but who doesn’t?? The level of passion in which they conduct themselves in when it comes to wanting to help, the way they love food and their love for music is so deep and spectacular!
You have so many different cities and beach towns to choose from and so much history. There is no way you can really get to know Spain by just going there once. It happens to be a really big country. I feel so amazing when I’m in Spain. It’s just so easy going and the people are so warm. Of course for me it's easy since I do speak the language but even if you don’t you will love it. Now in Spain we have way too many destinations so I will only elaborate on my favorites.

OVERVIEW:
Madrid is such an architecturally rich city. It’s a city you can walk around a lot in and discover a lot as you walk. As in any other city in Spain, the nightlife is great and the food is amazing. Unlike Barcelona, which is so multicultural even though it’s a Spanish city, in Madrid you get the true feeling of Spain. The real Spaniards rule in this city. I love it. There are a lot of different museums, lots of culture and amazing architecture. I LOVE all the little cafés along the small streets. I found so many delicious things to try in the process of exploring. There are Plazas, Palaces and a lot more to keep you entertained. And it’s very royal and grand in its own way. I love it. You really cannot get bored in this wonderful city with so much history.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
• Hotel Westin Palace Madrid is where I stayed and I loved it. It’s perfectly located, the service was amazing and the Breakfast was amazing. Just don’t send all your stuff to the cleaners at the hotel like I did when I got there because you will get a really big bill for that at the end. Oops! Who knew? But at least I looked good the whole time!
After a long day go relax in this amazing hotel and get ready for what the night has to offer. The nightlife is insane and they are so much fun! I hardly slept at night because it was that much fun! So… don’t be old and go to bed early, you’ll miss out on a lot.
