SCHOOL TRIP TO MADRID!!!!!!! by Benedetta

Last month,my class and I went to Madrid, ( the mythical capital of Spain!)......it was absolutely fantastic!


 Madrid is a very big city,
solar calm,historical....nice! 
It's a city dominated from art and from the popular "movida",the typical spanish night life,it's the city where you can eat the paella or where you can take a picture with the Guernica,it's the city where it's really simple to move,day or night,but mainly,it's the city where I stayed with my class,and where all together we spent some wonderful days!!!!!


Well,we stayed in Madrid for 5 days,from the 29th of March to the 2nd on April...the weather was perfect,sunny and sometimes a little hot. Spanish people are very kind and friendly,and spanish food is really good. Paella,sangria,tortillas....I loved them! We stayed in a hotel in the centre of the city,very big,beautiful,and ancient too. Everyday we visited museums,squares,the HARD ROCK CAFFE,but also we went shopping,we walked a lot,we took many pictures,we sang everywhere,we did many "madnesses"! But mainly,we had a lot of fun!!! The worst thing was the return home....Nobody wanted it!!! How can I describe my whole trip,in this little space??? I will try to tell you....START!!!




FIRST DAY-29th OF MARCH


Tuesday,precisely! At 14:30 we gathered in Jerzu to catch the bus,that brought us to the airport of Alghero. The flight was at 9:00 p.m.,and my classmates were very excited,because for some of them,that was the first flight in their whole life! We arrived 
in Madrid around midnight,we went to the hotel,and after some hours spent all together,we went to bed very tired!








The other days were very full and beautiful...the things that I liked most of all,were the squares! We went to "Plaza de Espana","Plaza Mayor", "Plaza de Cibeles","Puerta del Sol".....and all of them were very massive and beautiful!




In some squares there were also some statues,dedicated to important people,like Garcia Lorca,or some fountains,like that dedicated to a queen of the family of Borbone.




On the contrary,the things that we hated very much were the museums! The Prado,Reina Sofia and the Thyssen Bornemisza,the most important,were too big and boring! There were beautiful,for sure,but too,TOO BIG!!!
In particular the Prado : I've never seen a so big museum in my whole life! At the end of the visit,I was the most tired person in the world!!!


Fortunately,we had very much fun at night: we walked in the roads of Madrid,we saw the flamenco,the street artists,but mainly,we met people and we talked with them (in spanish,with a special thank to the teacher Riccio =) ).



During these 5 days,we ate all types of food! Spanish (it's normal),but also Chinese,Turkish and.... italian! We are intercultural guys,and I loved all the things that we ate...except the spanish pizza =) !
But unfortunately,we didn't eat the famous "churros"...





Everyday,we went shopping too,and infact,to put the things in the switcase there was a problem!
I bought lots of things,clothes and souvenirs for my family,in the museums and in the Royal Palace too.




Ah! An other thing that we visited was the station of Atocha....this station is important for the "tropical forest" that there is inside it: there were the turtles too! 









Finally,this trip was beautiful and unforgettable,probably for the beauty of the city,probably for the good weather,or simply for the presence of my classmates,but I will remember it forever!
