The Majesty of Madrid

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | After wandering the Plaza Mayor, do a little high-stakes gambling at one of Europe's biggest flea markets, ogle the lavish Royal Palace, ponder perplexing art at the Prado Museum, stare down a flamenco dancer in Sevilla, look deep into Picasso's greatest work — Guernica — at the Centro Reina Sofía, and munch on pigs' ears in a "tapa tango." #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #madrid

I am an American. I have travel to Europe many times. I have visited London, Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Lucerne, Prague, Munich, Barcelona, and Madrid.   Madrid has a very especial place in my heart.  Madrid, by far, is my favorite city in Europe! Salutations from, USA!

I studied abroad in Spain, specifically in Madrid, and it was a transformative experience. It has so much culture, art, and pride that you don't have a choice but to appreciate and admire it.

[CanadianKid]

I'm Canadian, but I love Spain with all my heart.

[demgroc]

From the European Capitals that I have visited...
London is the most interesting and atmospheric
Paris is the most romantic and charming
Rome is the most glorius and historical
Prague is the most beautiful and...
Madrid is the most human, elegant and sensual!
I Love them all so much I can't decide which  is the best!
Cheers from Grecia.

Madrid is the most beautiful city in Europe, the best hotels, delicious cuisine and the friendliest and friendliest people in all of Europe.

De Madrid al cielo, it indeed is a fab city, it's people, architecture, museums, music, tapeo, vibrant city that nunca se duerme. I went to study there for 2 years, the years went on and on, never wanted to leave...

There is nowhere like Spain. Every region, city, and town has something amazing and unique to offer. I lived there for a year and a half and it was such an incredible place to call home.

Spain is a great country and one of the most visited countries in the world. You tourists are invited to come

[ilovelegos]

Went to Madrid last summer. It was awesome. Now I feel like I wanna go back there again.

[MrQbenDanny]

Bravo! Bravissimo!
VIVA Madrid!
Love it, great documentary. The Prado is the Holy Grail of Museums. Velasquez the greatest and my favorite. I'm going to retire to Madrid!

I am proud of my Spanish heritage. Being a descendant of Spaniards who settled in the new world, I couldn't help but wonder what life would've been like for me, if we had stayed in Spain...

[justoperal]

I love the sentence: "Some spaniards come here to honor him. Others come to be sure he's still dead". You defined Spain more than you think. By the way, Franco is not there anymore.

[sttfw]

[TenThumbsProductions]

I had a layover in Madrid, over night, going from Barcelona to Medellín. 23 hours, I think I slept like 2, went jamming Ukulele, ate like a king, had a blast. Great city.

I believe you are the only vlogger who talk in details about the artworks in the museums. I am impressed. Obviously you are not just out to earn UTube money and your language is the English of the educated. To me that is the ultimate respect you can accord to your viewer. Muy muchas gracias para un video maravilloso de nuestra madre españa. Abrazos desde provincia de yloilo filipinas.
