LOVE Madrid and extra trips to Toledo and Segovia. And the museums! Love your series! I went to Madrid with the last year classes, so, for some years. They all loved it too, and the class photo was taken at the base of Don Quijote’s horse. Those were the days… But – I have to agree, the winner is Barcelona if I had to choose.
Great minds 🙂 I love the horse statue but he is always surrounded by people having their photos taken!! That’s why I’ve got that very low angle shot of him – it was the only way of avoiding the people. A great city for a group visit – no matter how big a group every person would have to fins something they like.
There are a few areas for street art now. The old tobacco factory being one of them. A city with a good mix of history and modern. But I always find good food to be a bit of a challenge.
If I had to make the choice, I think Barcelona would win over Madrid for me. But ai do love visiting Madrid. Plus it has some excellent easy day trips so definitely one for your list Jo! Only a 6-7 hour drive for you 😀
