Madrid

For Easter break we headed off to Madrid. After traveling to Barcelona, it was hard to imagine any place that could beat it. Barcelona had the food, the architecture, the coast and the design. However, after just spending one night in Madrid, I knew that there was something about this city that Barcelona couldn't touch. Madrid has a distinct authenticity that run deep in it's veins, it has character and spirit. While Barcelona has it's alluring charm, it sometimes feels like it tries to hard.

Not only was this a trip to a new exciting city, but also a trip to meet up with good friends. I was fortunate enough to have my Easter break the same times my friends from Minneapolis were traveling around Spain. We were able to spend 3 days together eating, drinking and being merry. Our last night consisted of eating delicious Arabic food in dimly lit adobe like restaurant. It was sad to say goodbye to my friends and the city, but will see them again soon enough.
