School trip in Madrid

Today I’ll write something about the school trip we did last month. It was the first time I went out from Italy, and it was a great experience for me. I shared this experience with my classmates, and they made this trip special! Our destination was Madrid, the capital of Spain, a very beautiful city. We arrived in Madrid by plane from Alghero airport, and when we arrived was night.. We visited “The Golden Triangle of Art”, composed by the three big museums of Madrid: the museum “Reina Sofia”, where we saw the collections of Salvador Dalì and Picasso, also his masterpiece “Guernica”; The “Thyssen-Bornemisza”, full of impressionists ad expressionists paintings, and the biggest museum of Madrid, the “Museo del Prado”, in which we could admire the collections of artist like Bosch, Mantegna, Goya and Dürer. We visited also a small beautiful church called “Ermita de San Antonio de la Florida”, Goya’s burial-place. We went also in the royal palace, a very big and sumptuous place, that is the official residence of Spanish royal family. But the thing of Madrid I liked most of all was the Madrid Night Life!! This capital never sleeps, indeed I think it lives especially during the night. This city has got many squares, that in the evening are full of people and vitality… I had much fun, because I could visit this places with my classmates, and with a good company all is different, so I’m very happy for this trip, and I would do it gladly.

School trip to Madrid

First I must say that I never went to Spain and I did not expect that a trip to his capital could be so beautiful, because it was not a city so famous for me, and for all Barcelona is much more beautiful. I think what made this trip so special was the company of my classmates more than the city itself (cause it was more fun spend the time with them ,even if we were hanging around in the city, than wonder lonley). However, it was a fantastic experience, and I am glad to spent those five days in that city. I have visited a lot of places, important museums like the "Reina Sofia" or the "Thyssen-Bornemisza" or the "Prado", where there are very beautiful pictures. I think I have walked not less than six hours per day, I say it cause even if I was in a museum I had to walk to see all the works, and so I was walking perpetually. I saw a lot of nice things like shops with weird names, or funny statues, like the statue-symbol of Madrid, a bear that eats a tree, or something like it. The city appears full of life only in the night, during the day everything seems asleep, but when the night comes Madrid shows its beautiful. The whole city is pouring into streets and squares, all is full of peoples, but it is very beautiful, it is a paradise city especially for teenagers, but also for others.
