My ultimate tip for visitors to Madrid: A detour to the 360° Sky Bar of the Riu Hotel at Plaza de España. The view is truly breathtaking – and the glass balcony is the absolute...

Hello dear ones! I never thought I would write a blog, but it's true, if not now then when? Last Wednesday I already went to Madrid, the last days before the departure were...

The flight was very relaxed. Business class was just the first 4 rows of the plane, but with 3 seats on either side, the middle seat was always free, so it was very comfortable....

Madrid

We rarely wrote about learning on the go. After all, we had curriculum to cover and teaching materials with us. We did this repeatedly. But not every day, and weekdays and...

Actually, we didn't want to dedicate a post to Madrid, as it was just a layover on our journey to South America. Jan, the old penny pincher, had discovered that flights from...

A short break after the preparations and before the actual adventure

From the mountains of Asturias the journey continues to the wide plains around Madrid. From the small village to the big city. The contrasts are great! ...

After losing my documents, I had two options. Either I get a temporary ID (30+30 EUR) to fly home and quickly process my personal document (30,000 HUF), or I travel to Madrid...

Finally, the time has come. I'm sitting on the train again heading towards Frankfurt on my way to Colombia. And even better, I'm meeting Farina there so we can enjoy coffee...

The food in Spain is very different. Spaniards eat A LOT OF MEAT. Life is best lived with meat and that surprises me because meat is not healthy. Typical foods are omelettes,...

03/04/2020 - 06/03/2020 I spend the first few days of the trip in Madrid. Spain's capital is just as you would imagine it. As a former colonial power, there seemed to be enough...
