El grupo de la Muerte
This is a top pick! ... energetic streets all of a sudden go silent and bare when a soccer match featuring Argentina starts. I find that here in Madrid, even thought Spanish people love football, the same passion Argentines have for the sport doesn't exist. For this reason, ...
El Escorial
This is a top pick! ... brings back not so fond memories since it used to be considered the "red light district." Also the place I landed when I returned to Madrid in 1992. I will never forget this apartment where I rented a room with two Canadian girls. I spent a solid 10 days ...
Day of Rest

Melting in Madrid
This is a top pick! ... out that unless you're into galleries or football there isn't a great deal to do in Madrid - museums, a palace, a statue of a bear kissing a mushroom, shopping, clubbing and finding relief from the heat being about it. At over 40C each day so far and ...
El Toros: bulls of Madrid
This is a top pick! ... against my usual grave concern for the welfare of animals at the hands of man, but in Spain it is a cultural experience handed down through the ages and one that should not be missed. After a late lunch at a dark and moody cervaceria ...

This is a top pick! Alcalá de Henares is a city just 30 km's away from Madrid. Friday noon my Dad came home early from the office and we drove to this old city. The traffic was horrible and what was worse, the dark clouds forming above us spoke of impending rain. We figured ...
Last Day in Madrid... and Europe
