I just came back from a short journey to Madrid. Well, the city is simply amazing, the people are very friendly and fortunately the hostel was placed in the real centre of the city, in a street named “Gran Via”, very close to la Puerta del Sol and the main touristic attractions (Prado Museum, Reina Sofia Museum, Thyessen gallery, Parco del Buen Ritiro, Atocha Central Station and much more). We slept there for two nights, from Friday to Sunday.
When we arrived at the hostel, we said we were Italian and everybody at the reception loughed off Berlusconi. What a shame to be Italian when you travel! After all, It has been a good opportunity to speak a bit of university base Spanish. Low cost airplanes are nice, but seats are a bit tight. The weather was luckily good, 18° with rare sudden rains. Prices were sensibly cheaper than Milan, and the famous “movida” really exists.
Sure, I took pictures, and I’m working on it (up here you can see a little preview).
You should go there guys!

BBC.co.uk (England) just published my eight pieces reportage called “European Views” on its website. What a Joy! Thanks to Emma from BBC for the kind words.
