Beautiful ppl, beautiful landscape, and delighful food... thts wat ESPAÑYA is all abt.

Madrid- The heart of Spain

The first thing that strikes the first-time visitor in Madrid lies in one word--- beauty.

Hailing itself as the heart of Spain, this busy capital has it all... grand buildings, wonderous parks and most tellingly, lip-smacking superb food.

Las Ventas

Anyone in Madrid knows what Las Ventas is all abt. It´s the arena for BULL FIGHTS.

I got no time to outline the whole event here. Put simply, the bull is taunted, stabbed, and eventually sluaghtered. The Madristas go crazy when the bull takes its final bow and collapses to the ground. It´s like they enter a bloodlusty frenzy. I didn´t exactly like the killing, but I kind of found the atmosphere cool.ç

Madrid has a throbbing pub scene. (Im only saying this cos beer costs 3 sing dollars for a half pint. Shiok.) Anyway it was fun to go pubbing with such a cosmopolitan and varied grp. (A south african, a canadian and two Americans)

Dont have time for pics now. In the hostels there is always a long queue for internet. Adios!
