Madrid, the heart of Spain, pulses with a regal charm - where grand boulevards stretch wide beneath sun-drenched skies, and lush, meticulously kept parks offer quiet refuge from the city’s energy. It’s a city steeped in culture, where the legacy of European art lives on in the hallowed halls of the Museo Nacional del Prado, home to Goya, Velázquez, and other Spanish masters.

Staying in the city’s vibrant centre, near the majestic Royal Palace and the beautifully restored 1850 Teatro Real Opera House, you're immersed in a rhythm that never really stops. Streets hum with life - local artists painting in open air, tapas bars spilling laughter and aromas into alleyways, and sangria glasses clinking before the sun even begins to set.

TRAVEL NOTES

I love how Madrid invites you to wander without a plan - just you, the cobbled streets, and a story unfolding around every corner.
