If you have the chance to come to Madrid during Christmas time, New Year's Eve? do it! =) if you don't: do it anyway! =)
Decorations are alsolutely wonderful, breathtaking, stunning, gorgeous and what's more impresive =)
The whole streets covered with gleaming, colourful lightings of various shapes; stars, snowflakes, Christmas trees, baubles etc.
The view that reminds you those American Christmas movies... and you can see it with your own eyes!
I guess Madrid is the most 'Christmas decorated' capital in Europe!!!
 |
| Calle de Goya |
 |
| Calle de Velazques |
 |
| Calle de Serrano |
so..
Advice for those who:
- live in Madrid - but don't visit other 'barrios' apart from yourown and the very Centre - Sol -> head Salamanca, Goya Street, Serrano (Plaza de Colon)
- do the practice in another place in Spain - I know you think to go home for Xmas, maybe you come back for New Year's Eve? - visit MADRID later anayway!!! maybe around 6th January - The Tree Wise Men. It is another spectacular feast in Spain.
- are out of Spain now - next time if you plan to travel a bit during these "holy days" :) to spend Christmas in a slightly different way or to take part in a huge Fiesta on New Year's Eve - keep in mind Spanish capital!!!
or if you manage - visit me this winter !!!
*I go to Poland for Christmas... yeah our Polish Christmas... really special traditions... and pasta with poppyseed!!! ( They don't know poppyseed here! )
but I am back here on New Year's Eve :D
so
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Feliz Navidad!
Wesołych Świąt!
