Madrid is a special city. Tidy and clean and at the same time very electrifying. The typical cuisine is really good and some events like the flamenco shows are absolutely, and I repeat, absolutely not to be missed. My girlfriend and I were in Madrid mainly for the Lion King musical, so we thought that would be the best and most important event of the vacation, but instead the city held so many special occasions for us, from museums (Prado and Royal Palace-unfortunately, we didn't get to see the Reina Sofia museum) to clubs, from Jamon to Patatas Bravas.
The musical in any case was a beautiful and unforgettable experience, you become a child again and are captivated practically from beginning to end.
Our stay was only 2 nights, but if you organize yourself by booking tickets in time it is very doable to be able to really do a lot of things.
