Madrid

   Long in the shadow of Barcelona, Madrid returns to the front of the stage. The town has been completely redesigned and the city center is adorned with many pedestrian streets. The atmosphere is amazing in Madrid. In the evening, everyone gets together about places or streets of the city. In addition to being lively and energetic, Madrid has many facets and there's something for everyone: food, architecture, culture, shopping, nightlife. We stayed a long weekend recently. That was 10 years since we had not set foot in Madrid. It was an opportunity to rediscover the city.

When to visit?

You are advised to visit Madrid in the spring or fall. Indeed, it is very cold in Madrid during the winter. Recall that Madrid is one of the highest European capitals! Summer can be very hot. We must be able to withstand temperatures around 35 ° C.

Barcelone's Magical Fountain

Barcelone's Magical Fountain

During the Great Universal Exhibition of 1929, the organizers felt that something was missing, something spectacular, something that could be the symbol of the Catalan capital for generations to come. It is for this reason that Carles Buigas returned to Barcelona to present his project, "a colossal work, bold and very dear." The committee was surprised by the immensity of the project and they rejected the idea almost thinking it would be impossible to carry out. Fortunately, Buigas could convince her by saying that he would project to completion in less than a year with the help of more than 3,000 workers.
