Madrid: My Experience

Image
This past summer, I took a trip to Madrid, the vibrant capital of Spain. The city’s mix of rich history, buzzing atmosphere, and incredible landmarks made it a memorable trip. From sightseeing on a bus tour to stepping inside the iconic Real Madrid stadium, Madrid offered plenty of experiences, some better than others. Activities One of the highlights of my visit was taking a hop-on, hop-off bus tour around the city. It was a great way to see Madrid’s most famous landmarks without feeling rushed. The Royal Palace, the bustling Puerta del Sol, and the elegant streets of Gran Vía were all standouts. The open-top bus gave amazing views, and the flexibility to explore spots like the Plaza Mayor made it even better. The bus cost was around 30 EURO which was a little pricey but it really was a great way to see the sights of the city in a short space of time.

Looking over the city from the Duomo’s terraces was one of the highlights of our trip. In addition, we also did ...

Barcelona: My Experience

A few years ago, I had the chance to visit Barcelona on a high school trip, and it was one of the most exciting places I’ve ever been. From the amazing architecture to the energy of the streets, Barcelona just has this vibrant feel that’s hard to describe. We had a packed itinerary, racing from one sight to the next, but every day was an adventure — from marveling at La Sagrada Família to sliding down water rides at PortAventura.  ACTIVITES Barcelona is known for its breath-taking and unique architecture around the world, and it didn’t disappoint. One of the absolute highlights was visiting La Sagrada Família. I had seen photos of this iconic basilica before, but nothing compares to standing in front of it. The intricate details, the towering spires, and the massive scale of it all left me in awe. The fact that it’s still under construction after over 100 years only made it feel even more incredible, like watching history unfold in real-time. In addition, we also visited Park Güell...
