Madrid the Most Spanish of All Cities
As Madrid blossoms into its own niche; it becomes the worlds most sought after Holiday Itinerary in the world and the most Spanish of all cities. Madrid is always compared to Barcelona and that it seems that Madrid is left out. And that they were wrong.
Madrid has preserved the legacy of its culture. As the city fast forward to the 21st century it brought with it the very core of the Spanish culture. What for should we look for in a Spanish country? French inspired building? An Italian influenced dishes? Or perhaps a Hollywood style clothing? Thus, it fails the goal why we travel and enter Madrid.
Madrid travel is full with 21st century buildings and innovations but the Spanish culture in its chore of development. Madrid travel means a visit to a classy airport terminal planned by Richard Rogers and Antonio Lamela; tapas bar that seduces patron with minimalist style décor; the latest innovation of lights to lit Plaza de Chueca; or perhaps the technology adopted to home the fastest train travel- whatever may be added to the city- Madrid travel definitely and I strongly emphasize complete a Spanish Itinerary. Without Madrid is without the Spanish air we are looking forward for.
The memory of a man in black tuxedo dancing flamenco would I think will always be embedded in my memory. It truly signifies Madrid. You may dress Madrid with the latest innovations of man still it will remain to be- the most Spanish City.
As much as we enjoy Madrid travel when the sun is up, Madrid is best enjoyed during the night. To enjoy the city like a local go straight to El Viajero to see of different races wearing different dresses unite in one dance flamenco or do a flash dance.
Maybe a different tune like rock ‘n’ roll kind of music completes your Madrid travel then hop in to La Via Lactea and party all night long.
