Underrated Madrid 4 days 3 nights-DAY 2-P2

#2024TravelReview 🌍 Mercado de San Miguel This is a flea market that has been supplying fresh ingredients to Madrid residents since 1916. It completely overturned my view of the market because the building where the market is located is so beautiful, with glass floor-to-ceiling windows and an iron frame roof, and the ground is very clean. This is also the place where we have seen the most people gather since we arrived in Spain. Every aisle is filled with tourists lingering at the stalls and enjoying the food. There is not much space for people to stop and take pictures. There are also many small stalls selling the most distinctive snacks and wines in Spain. Each stall owner neatly displays his or her specialty food, which makes people very appetizing at the sight. My two favorite stalls are those selling oysters and sea urchins. The oysters are big and the sea urchins are sweet and fresh. They are both very fresh, but a little expensive. This attraction is recommended to all friends who are visiting Spain for the first time and want to learn about Spanish cuisine. It is a centralized place where you can taste all Spanish cuisines in one stop. It is also the place where you can best feel the enthusiasm of the Spanish people and their love for food. 🌍 The Temple of Debod was donated to Spain by the Egyptian government in 1968. It is located in Parque del Cuartel de la Montaña. Montana Park is very beautiful. From a high place you can see the Royal Palace of Madrid and the city of Madrid. From the photos on the Internet, you can see that the Temple of Debod is surrounded by water, but when we arrived in November, I don’t know if it was due to a water restriction order, so the ponds and fountains we saw in Spain and Paris were all dry, and we were a little disappointed that we couldn’t capture the sky mirror effect we saw on the Internet. 🌍 Palacio Real de Madrid Visit the largest royal palace in Western Europe, which has a total of 3,418 rooms. The building is magnificent. Going up the main staircase, you will pass through carefully designed rooms. Each room is unique, with different murals and furniture, showing the royal collection. The most breathtaking is the dining room where state banquets are held. There is a long table that can accommodate 144 people at the same time. The murals on the vault were created by Francisco Bayeu. It is recommended to reserve more than 1 hour for the visit. If there is an audio guide, you can learn more about the history of the palace. Visit the exhibition that was celebrating the tenth anniversary of the coronation of the current King of Spain, Felipe VI, with photos of him and his family members, as well as the photo of the announcement of Princess Leonor of Asturias as the next heir to the throne in Parliament in 2023. 🌍 Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena Just opposite the Royal Palace of Madrid, it was completed in 1993. We only visited its exterior. Friends who are interested in the church can go inside during the visiting hours. #Madrid #SpanishTravel #San MiguelMarket #Temple of Debod #Royal Palace of Madrid #Cathedral of Our Lady of Almudena #FreeTravel #2024 #Traveler #TravelAroundTheWorld #2024TravelReview
