Hello everyone,
I wanted to share this information and hope it is helpful for the people visiting madrid.
I went madrid and fell in love with the city.
It was my dream destination and as I was learning spanish. I wanted to interact with people and understand the culture and language more.
TIP - learn the basics because 80% people in spain only speak spanish.you can always look for the young crowd as they do speak english.
About my trip:
My day started from the feria de madrid metro station.
As I decided to go to sol which is the main city.
I started my journey and it was quite diffucult to understand the local language but luckily I found a young couple and they somehow helped me.
