Lisbon, Portugal (part II)

MADRID ME MATA!!!

Madrid me mata!!

That's what I thought when I realized that I was in the city that has Guernica, The Garden of Earthly Delights, Deposition by Roger Van Der Weyden, and many other art pieces.

Yes. Madrid kills me... with its art, culture, arquitecture, and interesting food.

Madrid me mata, fue exactamente lo que pensé cuando me di cuenta que estaba en la ciudad que tiene Guernica, el Jardin de las Delicias, el descendimiento y muchas otras increíbles piezas de arte.

Sí Madrid me mata... con su arte, cultura, arquitectura y su interesante comida.

El recuento del viaje

The recounting of the trip!

Between museums and old cities full of history I spent my vacation time in Spain. It was great. Our goals were to see Picasso's Guernica in Madrid, The Prado Museum (in Madrid, also), to visit Lisbon, Portugal, and to see as many buildings from Gaudí in Barcelona as possible. And we did it. We saw and visited all the things that we planned and along the way we enjoyed so much more.

Day One:

Flying over the Atlantic, I dreamt about a high-wire walker.  Later he became the protagonist of the trip in Spain.

Día uno: Volando sobre el Atlántico, entre sueños aparece el equilibrista que se convertiría en el  protagonista  en este viaje por tierras españolas.
