day 1

My stay was close to Gran Via and I almost spent walking my whole stay in the city. Two of the major squares are next to each other and offer you the central beat of the city. It is Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. I would say that these are majorly the main areas where they take you everywhere. However, on my day of arrival I always walk around but I don’t exhaust myself with much of sight visiting. I like to be more focused when seeing a museum or visiting a landmark. Next to these squares, I visited a local market. It’s not a traditional old one but it is rather an upscale of a food hall with numerous shops to choose many types of local food. Personally, I didn’t like it a lot because it was the holidays and packed with visitors. I like to enjoy my food and have proper meal rather than eating while standing. I ended my walk at Retiro Park.
