... that we have in English for Jocelyn, so I'm going to send that within the next couple days (Adivina cuánto te quiero).

The area that the Prado museum is in is beautiful, which is the Banco de España, which is the HUGEST bank I have ever seen. It is one of the most popular spots in Madrid for tourism (the area, I mean, not the bank). It is also just down the road from Retiro Park, where I go occasionally to jog. Or at least I think it was. It started looking similar.

... is. Some guys came over and yelled at everyone for taking pictures, and said that cathedral was closed for the day and kicked us all out. I was very upset that I couldn’t explore the cathedral and go up the Giralda tower to look out over Sevilla.

We were pretty tired because it got up to at least 97 degrees today, so we went back to the hostel and rested for a bit. I then packed up and got ready for my bus trip. Wiz ...

... street in Madrid - I found I needed some time not holding my umbrella so I went shopping for a bit - later on I hit the Plaza de Sol that has the Bear (the famous sign of Madrid) and this Plaza is actually the center of the Spanish Isla...how funny - so at the Plaza (I think it is right in front of the Ayuntamiento Building) you'll see a little mark saying how many km to to the north ...

We walked the long road back to the hostel and I hit the pillow at 0530...At 10 am it was time to check out, and I could see the lining of the wallet appear closer and closer - I decided it would be best to do the 6 hour trek to Madrid, but the Germans weren't so keen. We left for Cordoba, and had a quick look around. It could have been a nice place without a prominent hangover from the ...

It was my third time here but you cannot normally "complete" any European capital. There are always something that you haven't seen, such as the Archeology Museum of Madrid. It hosts many interesting articles from the stone-age but I'm not keen to describe those things here. I'm sure you can find more useful information elsewhere.
