|Blukei's On Track| Part I - Dest. Madrid: Day 1 [ENG-ESP]
We arrived in Madrid!
Hello! We formally start our new series |Blukei's On Track|, in which I will tell you about my experiences while traveling and exploring the world!
During my vacation period I had the opportunity to visit some places in the continent of Europe for 3 months! Yes, you read that right, 3 months. During this time I had the opportunity to live all kinds of adventures and that's why I'm going to tell you about them throughout this series.
To formally begin I say, here we go!
Llegamos a Madrid!
Hola! Formalmente damos inicio a nuestra nueva serie |Blukei's On Track|, en la cual les comentaré sobre mis experiencias al viajar explorando el mundo!
Durante mi periodo de vacaciones tuve la oportunidad de conocer algunos lugares del continente de Europa durante 3 meses! Si, leíste bien, 3 meses. En este tiempo tuve la oportunidad de vivir toda clase de aventuras y por ello se las voy a comentar a lo largo de esta serie.
Para dar inicio formalmente les digo, vamos allá!
We begin this journey in our first destination, Madrid, Spain, a country within the continent of Europe.
I leave through the terminal, after a fairly long trip (first trip of more than 2 hours that I have) we take the metro from the airport on the way to the Atocha station, which connects many of the points of Madrid.
Iniciamos esta jornada en nuestro primer destino, Madrid, España, un país dentro del continente de Europa.
Salgo por la terminal, luego de un viaje bastante largo (primer viaje de más de 2 horas que tengo) tomamos el metro del aeropuerto de camino a la estación de Atocha, la cual conecta muchos de los puntos de Madrid.
Right off the bat, I am amazed at how different everything is in Madrid compared to the destinations I have visited. Its organization, cleanliness and distribution are some of the features I can mention that caught my attention when I left.
The streets are large and with well marked pedestrian paths, which made me realize that I should learn more about this society. I felt for the first time like I was in a television series that I am so used to seeing behind the screen.
Ya de entrada, estoy asombrado con lo diferente que es todo en Madrid en comparación a los destinos que he visitado. Su organización, limpieza y distribución son algunas de las características que puedo mencionar que llamaron mi atención al salir.
Las calles son grandes y con caminos peatonales bien señalizados, lo que me hizo comprender que debía aprender más de esta sociedad. Me sentí por primera vez como en una serie de televisión a las que tanto estoy acostumbrado a ver detrás de la pantalla.
As expected, having a long trip makes you hungry early in the morning, so our first stop is a coffee shop/restaurant for breakfast. Our order consists of two glasses of pure orange juice (juice for people in Madrid) with two croissants and a cup of coffee for my girlfriend, who keeps me company on this adventure.
To my surprise, in Madrid the juice is totally pure when they sell it to you by the glass, which makes the experience better since I am a lover of natural and fruit extract.
Para mi sorpresa, en Madrid el jugo es totalmente puro cuando te lo venden por vaso, lo cual hace que la experiencia mejore ya que soy amante de lo natural y el extracto de frutas.
After a good breakfast, good conversation, laughter and deep observation, we proceeded to walk to our next destination, on the way we came across a very curious wall decoration. It is the first time I see a wall covered with plants and well preserved, a phenomenal touch to it.
Seguido de un buen desayuno, buena platica, risas y observación profunda, procedemos a caminar a nuestro próximo destino, de camino nos topamos con una decoración de pared bastante curiosa. Es la primera vez que veo una pared cubierta de plantas y bien preservada, un toque fenomenal para la misma.
After appreciating this wall with plants, we proceeded to walk to our next stop, the park called "Real Jardin Botanico".
This is a park focused on the preservation of nature in which we can appreciate different types of plants such as Bonsai, Rose Gardens, different specimens of plants such as types of Cactus and other types of attractions that are worth to be observed in person.
Before entering I had a vague idea of what might be inside, however, upon entering I understand that it is totally worth the visit.
Seguido de apreciar esta pared con plantas, procedemos a caminar a nuestra próxima parada, el parque llamado "Real Jardin Botanico".
Este es un parque centrado en la preservación de la naturaleza en el cual podemos apreciar diversos tipos de plantas como son Bonsai, Jardines de Rosas, especímenes diferentes de plantas como son tipos de Cactus y otro tipo de atracciones que valen la pena ser observadas en persona.
Antes de entrar tenía una idea vaga de que podía ser lo que estaba dentro, sin embargo, al entrar comprendo que vale totalmente la pena la visita.
With this welcome from Madrid, we set off to our next stop, this being the famous Puerta de Alcalá representing one of the most important monuments inside Madrid.
At this point, it is good to mention that the gate is in the middle of the avenue, so it is good to take a good angle to take pictures or videos as needed.
Con esta bienvenida de parte de Madrid, nos ponemos en marcha hacia nuestra próxima parada, siendo esta la famosa Puerta de Alcalá representando uno de los más importantes monumentos dentro de Madrid.
Hasta este punto, es bueno mencionar que la puerta queda en medio de la avenida, por lo tanto es bueno tomar un buen ángulo para tomar las fotos o videos que se necesiten.
This was quite a nice place we were able to go to as the path is full of flowers and gives you a fresh feeling during the walk.
As part of the next and last stop of the day before resting, we have our attendance at the Retiro Park, which is the largest park I have seen up to that point.
It is quite a beautiful park with lots of green areas to hang out and make contact with nature. This experience undoubtedly caused me two things: it made me increase my deep love for nature even more and it made my feet hurt because we lasted about 2 hours trying to see every corner without success.
It is a great place to spend time as a couple, as a family, and even alone in a quiet place.
Este fue un lugar bastante bonito al que pudimos ir ya que el camino está lleno de flores y te brinda una sensación de frescura durante el recorrido.
Como parte de la próxima y última parada del día antes de descansar, tenemos nuestra asistencia al Parque del Retiro, el cual es el parque más grande que he visto hasta ese momento.
Es un parque bastante hermoso con muchas áreas verdes para pasar el rato y hacer contacto con la naturaleza. Esta experiencia sin duda alguna me causó dos cosas: me hizo aumentar mi amor profundamente por la naturaleza aún más e hizo que me dolieran los pies porque duramos aproximadamente 2 horas intentando ver cada rincón sin éxito.
Es un espacio sumamente grande y bueno para pasar un tiempo en pareja, en familia e inclusive a solas a interiorizar.
At the end of this day, I ended up totally satisfied and understanding that the trip had been completely worth it.
By this point, we went to the hotel where we stayed to regain strength and then we could start touring again.
I hope you liked this post and I'll see you in the next installment.
See you soon!
Al final de este día, terminé totalmente satisfecho y entendiendo que el viaje de entrada, había valido completamente la pena.
Para este punto, fuimos al hotel en el que nos hospedamos para recobrar fuerzas y luego poder iniciar a recorrer de nuevo.
Espero que les haya gustado esta publicación y nos vemos en la próxima entrega.
Hasta luego!
