I traveled to Madrid, Spain, without a plan, only vibes. I'd wanted to take a solo trip to a Spanish-speaking country for a while but couldn't decide where to go. To break my analysis paralysis, I bought a ticket and found myself in Madrid a month later. Every day was a new adventure as I explored the city like a local, enjoying its beauty and practicing my Spanish. 🇪🇸

(I highly recommend first reading my article titled "Things to Know Before Traveling to Madrid, Spain" prior to planning your adventure.)

Tuk Tuk Tour

Embarking on a private Tuk Tuk tour through Madrid was an absolute blast!

Plus, I couldn't help but feel a touch of luxury cruising around in my private Tuk Tuk! 😂

Flea Market in El Rastro

Yoga Class at YogaOne

YogaOne is an amazing studio with an incredibly helpful staff. Although Google Maps led me astray, the receptionist came to my rescue (yes, we had a phone conversation in Spanish!) and guided me to the studio. To my delight, they even offered me a free class since I was a first-timer! 🧘🏽‍♀️

Flamenco Dance at Centro Cultural Flamenco

The Flamenco dance show unfolded as an intimate hour-long spectacle in the cozy confines of Centro Cultural Flamenco. The passionate dedication of the dancers radiated through every facial expression, movement, and costume choice, leaving me utterly awestruck. Witnessing this performance was a great reminder of how dance serves as a universal language, creating connections and deepening our appreciation for diverse cultures. It left me yearning to incorporate more dance performances into my daily life, to bask in that enchanting magic once again. 💃🏽🌟
