I don’t know how you got video footage but every time I went, to the Royal Palace in Madrid , they kept saying no photos no videos, no flash. No, the Egyptian temple is not worth it. It’s just a waste of time. You didn’t miss anything. I would recommend staying centrally in the Modena hotel. It’s close to everything and you get breakfast included and it’s fantastic and across the street is a wonderful church if you want to go to mass in the morning before you go get your shopping done at corte Ingles right behind the Moderno hotel, and you can buy your fruit, sandwiches, Tinto de verano , you can also visit some wonderful flamenco shows.🥰
Not a woman dancing what you bought at that store at Plaza Mayor, but a Menina, a figurine of an Infanta, a member of the Spanish Royal Family, and Velazquez's most famous painting.
The word "menina" (which is originally a Portuguese word meaning "girl") does not refer to an Infanta, but to a young member of the Royal Palace staff responsible for taking care of the royal children. The painting "Las Meninas" (in fact, its "official" title is "The Family of Philip IV") is called that way not because of the Infanta Margarita, but because of Isabel de Velasco and Agustina Sarmiento.
One of my favorite places in the world! You do have to be careful and watch for pickpockets on the Metro, Puerta del Sol, Gran Via and other touristy places in Madrid. Some people just aren't museum people. My husband is an artist and I'm a Spanish teacher, so we can't bet enough of the Prado, Reina Sofía, and The Thyssen museums. Your video makes me want to go back to the Royal Palace--haven't been there in over 30 years. You got some good food too!
Croquetas are my favourite - thanks for triggering a craving 😜 Loved this video, and excited to see more! (bonus points for a quick shot of Tim Horton's!)
Great vlog. I enjoy a lot seeing my own city through the eyes of visitors. Love your smile. I’m really looking forward to the next chapters of your journey in Spain.
I don't know who told you that the Egyptian temple was closed at 20h, maybe it's true, but nobody enters the temple because it's really tiny. The whole attraction are the surroundings, it's an *OPEN* public park which has one of the best views of the sunset in Madrid.
You could've still gone to the Temple of Devod since what is really interesting about it is its sourrandings, with amazing views to the royal palace and look outs to the city it self. But you did what is most recomended for a three day visit! Loved your comments to your experiences
You missed the main and most beautiful part of Gran Via. You took right in Callao and took Calle Preciados. You should have stayed in Gran Via from Callao to the end in Cibeles. That is where the best buildings and stores are.
i think you would have loved the archeologican museum in Madrid (MAN), i get like visiting the Prado museum is like a really big thing, but i find history far more interesting specially as the MAN has the Dama de Elche and Dama de Baza statues (iberian statues)
por las imagenes que he visto de la joyeria grassy,,estuviste al principio de la gran via en el numero 1...es mucho mas comercial mas adelante.From the images I have seen of the Grassy jewelry store, you were at the beginning of the Gran Via at number 1... it is much more commercial later on
Nunca he entendido que se destaque ese hecho. Para mí, no pasa de una curiosidad sin la menor importancia. Ah, y se te ha pasado señalar que se encuentra a 666m sobre el nivel del mar.
Tourists from all over the world, WELCOME TO MADRID! I guess you've never been a tourist, you've never flown on a plane, you've never contributed to mass tourism... If not, you're pure hypocrisy, man!

I really enjoyed your video! I live in Madrid and love living here. I'll have to go to some of the restaurants you went to. Thank you!!
@@lizcoleman5229 Thank you!
Madrid tan bella como infravalorada.buen video

Another great video! I’m feeling wanderlust already 😅

What a nice city, the one I live

Gran Vía is more Cinema and Musical Theatre area than shopping. I guess that when you took the wrong turn you ended up in Preciados or el Carmen 😅
@@namarien31416 🤣😅 probably!

@@justinianorigoberto7973 gracias! I think I just got a bit turned around and confused and then I got tired hahaha
En el parque del retiro, se encuentra la única estatua del ángel caído, o sea, lucifer, el demonio, es una estatua única.
Nunca he entendido que se destaque ese hecho. Para mí, no pasa de una curiosidad sin la menor importancia. Ah, y se te ha pasado señalar que se encuentra a 666m sobre el nivel del mar.
@@davidrm110 sólo era un consejo, pues se trata de una escultura única
Calle Preciados
