Madrid

 

hate to say it, but Madrid felt like one of the most generic cities I visited while in Europe. If you go, go for the excellent museums. The day my friend Todd and I visited, it rained practically all day - perfect museum weather. Oh, and if you're interested, I recommend the Planet Hollywood and all the Dunkin Donuts. Of course, I'm always about redefining how a place feels for me, and if I didn't like it too much, then I'm always open to returning and trying it again that I might get to like Madrid more.
