Madrid and Segovia

We arrived Madrid and visited the Prada Museum, this
 is an art  museum one of the finest  in the world. Artists like Goya, Rembrandt and many others have their works displayed here and in our humble opinion this is a museum of the same caliber as the Louvre in Paris, the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam... an absolutely fantastic art museum to visit.

Today we did a guided tour of Madrid with our tour guide, Phillip. Madrid is the third largest European city in the world following closely behind London and Berlin. Madrid is a beautiful city with lots of people, lots of tourist, and lots of shopping. Most people live in apartments and use public transportation or walk to move around the city. Each residential development is designed around a large park for the residents to use. Some of the greatest treasures of Madrid are the Cibeles Fountain, the Syrian Via and Plaza Dr Espana.

This afternoon we visited the medieval UNESCO World Heritage city of Segovia. A two thousand year old aquaduct that was used to supply the city of Segovia with water remains in good condition today. The castle of Segovia is said to beWalt Disney's inspiration for the castle in Sleeping Beauty. The 14th century remains of the city wall and theCatherdal make you feel that you are part of a fairy tale.

Madrid has been awesome. It is hard to imagine what we might experience when we travel to the ancient city of Toledo on our way to the Moorish city of Granada tomorrow.
