I travel and I have traveled a lot and I am lucky enough to always know good people who offer me help or teach me the city. Other times they share with me hobbies such as sports, dance or funk music.
I also love gastronomy and I usually lose it looking for restaurants that have recommended me.
Therefore, when I return to Madrid, I end up remembering such good times and places and missing those people I met.
I do not lose contact with them and when you come I always have a tour ready for them. So many times I ask their tastes and adapt a tour plan to know where to take them.
Depending on the time you are in Madrid, I make you see cultural things. You know:
Prado Museum: https://goo.gl/maps/XPtv7fKdjsSvmtT86

And so all the places that google can recommend you in a search.
After that I can always recommend other less known but interesting and varied places such as:

And I could continue putting many more, but the good thing is to go in and discoverā¦

In short, it is very nice to be able to return the favor to the people you know when you travel, it brings you much closer to them and makes the world smaller. thanks to technology, from email, social networks, google maps and the disinterested users who put their analysis and reports of their trips, I have been able to know more easily the world around me and open up to know places and people.
I would like to thank people such as those who collaborate in these networks, pages or projects, since we managed to develop something very positive, bringing cultures and people closer together.
Lots of love and Funky music!
