Madrid

Madrid is super cool and in my opinion should not be compared to Barcelona. They are very different and equally as epic.

Madrid has so much to offer for 3/4 nights.


If you're into sports - check out a football game at either Athletico or Real Madrid. Spanish sports fans [and stadiums] are nuts and you'll have a blast.


If you're into Tapas and Sangria [and let's be honest, who isn't?] then they have some of the best markets in Europe, and yes you can absolutely get Sangria ON TAP.


Go shopping down the Gran Via and then go and chill at El Retiro Park, before going to eat at some of the best restaurants.


Don't overlook Madrid when thinking about a Spanish trip.
