Madrid: The later the better.
commemorate
At this time, the night has slowly fallen, and it is time to taste the night in Spain together. ...
The more beautiful the night is.
Some people say that Madrid is "more beautiful at night" because it is noisy and crowded during the day and there are tourists everywhere. Madrid at night is full of passion and vitality, romance and wildness, and it is very charming.
Perhaps Spanish architecture is not very famous, but the almost unified architectural style gives people a harmonious aesthetic feeling, especially under the cover of night and golden lights. The night in Madrid is brilliant, but not noisy. Can you believe it? Look at the full moon in the dark blue sky, it is telling mystery and loneliness.
Chen Zhi, who is learning Spanish, made no secret of his praise for the city. He led us through the busy streets and the surging traffic, and took tempting photos with his camera. At first, I was afraid to follow him through the traffic, but later I was probably infected by the smell of the city and began to laugh at myself for being so unruly.
After walking for a while, everyone was hungry and went to eat seafood fried rice (paella) strongly recommended by Chen Zhi. Because it is a night market, the prices are relatively expensive, but after eating delicious paella, the feeling of heartache disappears when ordering. This kind of fried rice is just the opposite of China fried rice. It is made by pouring raw rice into a wok, adding special sauce and various seafood, frying until it tastes delicious, and then pouring water for stewing. Therefore, compared with Yangzhou fried rice, it is richer and thicker. Huang Liang's rice grains are covered with authentic seafood and dotted with green beans, which makes people have an appetite. Don't be busy, take a picture of it first!
After dinner, we continued to walk at night, perhaps because the road was unfamiliar, perhaps because of this confused night. I really can't remember all the places I have been. Only the central square remembers these names. Wherever I go, I will be surprised. I will keep taking pictures every time I pass by, trying to make this exciting moment eternal ...]
Spain without bullfighting
Unlike what I expected, bullfighting in Spain is not in full swing, on the contrary, it is relatively deserted. Later, I heard that it was because the competition here didn't start until May. Standing outside the arc-shaped bullring, I feel a little disappointed. It seems impossible to go in and watch a real bullfight this time. I can only imagine that in the dazzling sunshine, the red and gold-interwoven finery burns the pupil like a flame, and the contest between man and beast inspires the passion of the audience.
Like many cities in Europe, the old city of Madrid is criss-crossed with large and small squares and ancient streets, and its prosperity is completely different from that of Nordic countries. Somehow, I always imagine the feeling of getting lost on the next detour in this strange street. Sol Square is the center of Madrid, where buses come and go, unloading groups of tourists. The souvenir shop on the street sells all kinds of postcards and souvenirs, including Real Madrid jerseys and scarves. Now I seem to understand why Beckham is desperate to move to Real Madrid. Compared with dull gray Manchester, this city with wild fragrance may be more challenging.
Long and luxurious memories
Versailles in Paris may no longer feel the shock of luxury. But now in Madrid, it is inevitable to go to the so-called third palace in the world.
The complexity and splendor of baroque style, how many vicissitudes have the cold white palace walls witnessed? This beautiful country was once so brilliant that the sea under the sky was waiting for them to set sail. However, with the passage of time, hegemony has become a thing of the past, but it is regrettable that so many perfect fragments have been left behind. ...
The lake in Retiro Park is set against the glass palace, reflecting colorful light in the sun. If there are seven-color flowers in the world, they should be under the zenith of the glass palace. Litchi at noon is very quiet, and the air seems to condense. Once the time thing flows here, it seems that it suddenly loses its weight and ripples with the waves of the Mediterranean. The lake is lazily motionless. If I can shoot the lace parasol that European women loved decades ago, I will definitely get drunk here. Walking along the lake, a gray-haired couple came face to face. They helped each other and walked slowly, their eyes shining with gentle light. Suddenly, their hearts were touched. Perhaps this mutual concern can be called true romance and happiness.
postscript
I don't remember when I first saw Flamengo, but it must have been on TV. Looking back now, it is really a very typical Spanish feeling. The heavy beat, messy hair and open and close fans have brought the enchanting of women and the wildness of men to the extreme, which is so consistent with my impression and feeling of Madrid. Unconsciously, the night is dim, and it is time to bid farewell to this city full of flamenco's unrestrained dance, the city full of matador's passion, the classical elegant and romantic city, and the luxury of a modern metropolis. I look forward to revisiting my old place next time. ...

Prado National Museum
Although facing the traffic jam on Paseo del Prado, the Prado Art Museum still looks very quiet and serene. In Carlos III's time, it was originally built by the architect Fande Villanueba as a natural science museum, but due to the influence of the French War of Independence and other factors, the completion of the plan became far away. Later, King Fernando VII and Princess Isabel de braganca decided to build this place into an art museum. 18 19, the art gallery with many fine works of art in the palace was opened to the public.
The building belongs to neoclassical style, revealing extraordinary taste in simplicity. As the world's number one gallery, Prado Art Museum has a collection of more than 8,000 paintings.

There are not many people on the streets of Madrid in the morning, and the life of Spaniards is very leisurely and even a little sloppy. In Madrid, you can hear many legends about Madrid. The most interesting thing is the origin of the name "Madrid". It is said that in the distant ancient times, Madrid was an inaccessible place, with only a few families scattered in the virgin forest. One day, a child was playing outside the house when suddenly a black bear came at him. The child was in a hurry and climbed up the tree. At this time, his mother asked him to go home. She was so busy looking for the child that she didn't notice the black bear crouching under the tree with its big mouth open. At the critical moment, the child ignored his own safety and shouted in the tree: "Mom, run!" " "Mom was frightened and hid in a safe place. In memory of this brave child, after the city was built here, people used the phrase "Mom Run" (Spanish "Madrid") as the name of the city.

There are many squares in Madrid, and there are more than 300 large and small squares. The center of the square is mostly a statue or a bell tower, and each square has its own search and some historical allusions. Among them, Plaza de Espa? a is the most famous and has the most tourists. The square is small, and the monument of Cervantes, a famous Renaissance writer and language master, stands in the center. The giant sculpture of this great writer is solemn, holding Don Quixote's immortal masterpiece in his hand and staring at the distance with intense eyes. The bronze statue of Don Quixote under the monument is even more lifelike. He wore armor, rode a thin horse and took his servant Sancho. It seems that he has just returned from the battlefield. Behind the statue of Cervantes, fountains are like columns and pigeons are flying. The whole square is as concise and powerful as a work of art, in one go.

Madrid can be regarded as a melting pot that combines all the cooking methods of Iberian Peninsula. Sometimes gourmets will argue whether there is a problem with Madrid's unique cooking methods. But in fact, with the help of immigrants from Andalusia, Galicia and asturias, Madrid has enriched its cooking methods. The most noteworthy is Madrid broth, a juicy dish, which is made by mixing peas and vegetables and stewing beef and pork together. Tripe is another representative dish, which can be eaten in some famous restaurants in Madrid, as well as garlic soup, snail rice and potato omelet. Although Madrid is far from the sea, it has the most famous roasted sea bream, and cod is the main ingredient of almost every dish.
