    Many people have made videos about Madrid, but it seems that a lot of them overlook a place called "Tio Pio," which is located around 2 miles away from Goya. At Tio Pio, you can go to the top of the hills and enjoy the breathtaking view of the sunset. It's a truly beautiful sight that shouldn't be missed.

    Madrid es la ciudad más bonita de Europa y con una historia que forma parte de la humanidad. En Madrid se organizó el viaje que llevó a Cristóbal Colón a descubrir un continente que es América que en Europa desconocían su existencia. Si miras el mapa de EEUU verás que hay muchas ciudades que se llaman Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla etc.

    “A quick little look in the Prado museum?!?” The reverence that you treat the football stadium but hardly bothered with one of the Premier art museums in the world is rather stunning. And the Temple of . Debod is unsettling to me; in what has been a very Catholic country to have what is a false Idol in the middle of the city, no matter what the story is as to how they got it. You’ll notice that every major western world city, including Rome and Washington DC always end up with a very prominent Egyptian monument, usually phallic in shape, in very prominent place. Could it be that the elites of those ancient times continue to be the elite of these times?
