I spent my
first weekend in Madrid instead of Salamanca together with other students of
Tia Tula, to watch a game of football: Real Madrid – Real Sociedad. Saturday
morning we left Salamanca by bus to the stadium ´Santiago Barnabeu´. (+/- 2,5h)
We went by
metro to the centre to visit some of Madrid its attractions: Plaza Mayor and
Puerta del Sol after which we went back to the stadium to watch the game. The
atmosphere in the stadium was great, filled with all enthusiastic Real Madrid
supporters. The game was perfectly selected and run ends in 5-1 win for Real
Madrid.
After the
game we ate Tapas in the centre, where after we went to our apartment (booked
on www.airbnb.com). The metro network and
all public transportation are very easy to use, anyhow we covered a lot of the
city by feet. Sunday afternoon we left Madrid and went by train back to
Salamanca. (+/- 2,5h)
Because of
the great public transportation, it is possible to spend the weekends in
different cities and places. This gives you the opportunity to discover more of
Spain than only Salamanca.
