I drove from Madrid to Cordoba and visited the ancient city. Due to time constraints, I only visited the cathedral, the San Martin Bridge, and the observation deck. This ancient city is still worth a day to visit.

Madrid’s Retiro Park occupies a very large area and is well worth a visit, but when people enter the park, they dress up as Disney dolls, such as Cardchao and Super Sonic Mouse, which are out of place!

Spain, Plaza de España This square looks very simple, but with the lake and the pigeons, it is not so monotonous and looks very romantic. I sat here for an afternoon and felt very relaxed.
