Barcelo Aranjuez Hotel

Sooo, we definitely came to Spain for the infamous Mediterranean climate... that was a joke. We woke up at 9am (go us) to a cold and rainy day. Sadly, we didn't really sleep in the first place because people were running in and out of the room the whole night. Our beds are in a little cubby away from the rest, but that cubby is what you have to ...

gasto los ultimos baths en el dutyfree de Phuket, tabaco (por las impactantes fotos de advertencia contra los cigarrillos: pulmones negros y labios podridos) y alcohol (q me hacen tirar en el aeropuerto de Bangkok) y un zippo. utilizo todos los recursos linguisticos q he aprendido durante todo el viaje con la dependienta y la dejo alucinando, me...

Hang them all, just hang them, i say!!! What kind of a shoddy job have they carried out on these city maps, i ask!!! First, they give you completely Wrong directions to all the monuments in cities like Seville and Granada and Toledo! Which means,you take a right according to the map when you should be turning left! Imagine how many missed street...

We arrived in Madrid in the early evening and hopped on the subway to our hotel. After getting checked in we went to ... McDonald's to satisfy Renata's hang over grease craving. After that we made an attempt to walk down to the main square to check things out. One wrong turn and we ended up on a lot longer walk than we had bargained for and just...

La cosa strana dei giorni precedenti il viaggio e´stato il fatto che non aveno nessuna emozione, ero distaccato, non lo sentivo, cosi´oggi mi sono svegliato presto come un giorno qualsiasi, sono andato a fare delle commisisoni, come un giorno qualsiasi e sono andato in banca a prelevare dei dollari, come un giorno quals....ah no ecco cos`é oggi ...

MADRID Madrid's airport is huge and beautiful! Easy to navigate. I like the European way of picking up baggage. People off the street cannot come into the baggage section - thus our bags are much more secure from possible theft. Our apartment was incredible (share with dear friends Dorsey, Carolyn, Grover, and his daughter Ariel pictured at left...

Despues de haber visitado gran parte de extremadura gracias a la invitación de Eddie y Mariola a su boda, estuvimos de regreso en Aranjuez con Santiago y Lorena. Por cuestiones logisticas y (de clases) no pudimos acompańarlos en el resto de su recorrido (comer en Chinchón) y tuvimos que regresar a Madrid despues de una rápida sesión de fotos.

Hello to everyone who loves us enough to check our website. We have spent a week in Madrid. This city has been good to us. We have had lots of time to relax. A week ago we arrived here and found a hostel. It was incredibly tiny. Two bathrooms, a kitchen and 30 bunk beds. Our room had 14 people sleeping in it. The best part was in the morning. Ev...

So I just left Madrid, definitely better than London. Not that everything was perfect. So let´s get the *****ing out of the way as that´s what I like to do best. First and foremost the one thing I wanted to do more than anything was thwarted. It seems that the Guernica exhibit was closed until the day after I leave. Then I go to the Prado and fi...

Sunday morning came along and having woken up early we all jumped in the car and headed towards one of the Royal Sites of the Madrid surrounding area. We were to visit the Royal Palace of Aranjuez which is a palace located about an hour drive south of Madrid, destined to be the Spring home for the Spanish Crown in the 19th Century. Apparently th...
