Buenos dias!
As you probably know, I spend a week in Spain this month. Which was partly private reasons and also for some fun. I spend a few days in the town where my family comes from, but the majority of the time in Madrid. I absolutely love Madrid. This hasn’t always been like that as I used to live in Barcelona and therefore nothing could get better than that. However, as I flew to Spain quite often in the past year, Madrid has become a special place for me and is now one of my favourite cities in Europe. I could go there several times and never get bored of this city. You never run out of things to do and see. There’s a real good and positive vibe that gets transmitted, at least for me.
In this post, I’ll share my travel diary with snapshots of this trip. In a separate post, I will be sharing my Madrid recommendations and personal hotspots. As, after a few times in this city, I have some favourites that I’d like to share.
I have posted pictures of my trip on my Instagram. Have you seen them?
We started off with a delay. So I treated myself to fries to keep me happy.
Once we finally boarded, they kept us on the ground. It had gotten that late that when we were finally up in the air the sun was going down
Sunday breakfast
‘’Reading a magazine’’
How I love these Eames chairs
Time for tapas y vino tinto
Croissants are my kind of breakfast, in case you didn’t know
My stripes on Sunday outfit
Can’t go to Spain and not have churros con chocolate for breakfast
I am obsessed with my Love Moschino Blazer
Palm trees and sunshine. Leaving the small town and off to Madrid ❤
Another check in at a fantastic hotel.
Brekkie
Plaza Mayor
First time at Five Guys. OBSESSED!
Trying to do the cute ‘’I am posing with my five guys drink’’ Instagram pose. Failed at it.
Dinner at one of my fave Italian restaurants
Plaza Espana
Templo de Debod
I went there in the evening when the sun was slowly going down.
Palacio real
I always look up to spot interesting buildings
I love street musicians. This man was so sweet and he played the saxophone so good. Thanks for making my morning sir!
El Parque del Retiro
I tried doing this once when I lived in Barcelona. FAIL. Will never do it again, unless I am excluded from rowing.
El Palacio de Cristal. OOTD will be on the blog soon.
This place ❤
Look how this tree grows in the water
As halve Mexican, I had to eat some taco’s.
Street art
Can I just sit there and eat all of it?
I mean, do I need to say something about this?
Love this pleated dress
Evenings in Madrid
Look at that ham
Last pictures at the hotel’s rooftop before leaving. Boo.
Madrid, I am going to miss you and hope to be back soon!
Have you ever been to Madrid? Or is another place in Spain your favourite?

One of the things I love about Spain is the food! 🙂 Barcelona is such a nice city, it will always be special to me as it’s one of my homes away from home. I hope you get to visit Madrid too one time, it’s definitely worth the visit xxx

I would kill for Spanish churros 🙈 it’s so strange to see Five Guys there, but very cool! Love the street art 😋

Ahhhh churros are soooo yummy ❤ These American fast food chains are slowly coming to Europe and I love this 🙂 I also spotted Taco Bell in Madrid but didn't get the chance to try it.

I hope your private reasons are not painful. This is a great post ! I went in Spain twice but always in Barcelona or around this city. I hope one day, I’ll go to Madrid because I think I will prefer it.

It will slowly get better, some things take time to heal and recover. But thanks for caring ❤ If you liked Barcelona, you will love Madrid 🙂 I hope you get to visit it once. I'll be sharing a recommendations post soon, so it might be useful for your future trip. Are you still in Bangkok? x

It is good to read that it is getting better. Well, I think I am going to ask my boyfriend to spend time there with me when I’ll be back in Europe. Can’t wait to read your recommendations. I am still on Bangkok. ❤️
