Walks in Madrid
Started the walk escapade from 10 am till sun down at around 8pm, yet unable to cover a few of the many interesting places to see in the central capital of Spain, the very elegant city of MADRID.
We started at the Gran Via station walking along the architectural street, Gran Via as well and made stops at:
Plaza del Callao
Plaza de Espana Sabatini
Gardens Plaza de Oriente
Plaza de Armeria
Royal Palace
Almudena Cathedral
Plaza Mayor
Museo del Jamon
Museo del Prado
El Reina Sofia
Calle Mayor
On the way back, not following what we did as shown in the video, I suggest to go to the Retiro Park and Plaza Cibeles instead or you could start the walk from Plaza Cibeles. It was a reget we missed these two popular places in Madrid.

BARCELONA WALKS: Gaudi's Casa Batlló, Shopping Street to Plaça de Catalunya
walked along the long avenue of beautiful buildings. Passeig de Gracia. This street in Barcelona is popularly known as shopping street as well. Gaudi's Casa Batlló and Cadafalch' Casa Amatler are a few of the modernism architectural style buildings, in addition to the neo-classical and Baroque style buildings that had been there for centuries, house branded items. Part of the Passeig de Gracia is in the district of Eixample where most of the modernist buildings were built.
The walk ended at the heart of the city, at Placa de Catalunya. It was the perfect time to visit the plaza with all the doves that makes the park livelier and lovelier.
