My summer holiday last year was in the stunning city of Madrid. I’d never been to Spain before, so I was a little nervous, yet very excited. I just needed a break from the cold summer in England, and found cheap return flights, jumped on a plane, and landed in Madrid 3 hours later. In high school I had taken French as a language, so I had no knowledge of the Spanish language spoken in Madrid. I went to Waterstones and bought me a Spanish phrase book; I was eager to learn.
Unfortunately as it so happened, the tourist area I was staying in, English was widely spoken, so I didn’t get a chance to practise as much as I wanted. I found Madrid to be a very hospitable place, the locals and the tourists were all in high spirits all the time, the sun was shining and the sangria taste tingling. I would definitely go again, this time I may not stay in such a touristy spot, I got tired of paying tourist prices after a while!
