Things to do in 📍Madrid, Spain
I recently visited Madrid for the 2nd time and this time was for a travel scholarship that I was awarded. The first time I was in Madrid, I was 19 yrs old and I partied alot😰🤭 but this time around, I got to see more of the city. So here’s what you should do if you are visiting Madrid soon.
🐂Bull Ring: Many young folks don’t like going to see the bull shows (I did not) but I think the building is cool to see in person. You can buy tickets in person for a show if you would like.
☕️T8 Coffee Shop: This is a swanky coffee shop that I mistakeningly ran into while trying to kill time. I ordered a matcha (which was okay) but they have many tea and coffee options plus bean bag chairs and nice views of downtown Madrid.
🛍️Sol Shopping Center: This is one of the main shopping areas/squares in Madrid. You can take the Metro to “Sol” stop, which is connected throughout the city and pretty easy to use. I visited a bakery 📍Gelateria Astigianale, and bought a cannoli but there were soooo many treats available, including the colorful macarons.
Save this for your Madrid trip!
