My favorite group excursion was when we visited Madrid. On the fifteenth of June we took a two hour bus ride to the capital. I was so excited because we were going to visit two famous museums: Mueso del Prado and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. We were also allowed to have one hour of free time to explore the city before going to the museums. Other attractions we got to visit were the Real Madrid stadium and the plaza in Madrid.
During my hour of free time my friends and I walked in and out of stores and tried a local frozen yogurt chain (it was called Llaollao, it was super good). First museum we visited was Mueso del Prado and it was amazing. I love art and there was art from Picasso and Velazquez. We only had an hour to see the museum but, in my opinion it wasn’t enough. I could have spent a whole day there because it was so big.
The second museum, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia had more modern art. Most of the art had a message about current political issues and world problems. We had the same amount of time to visit this museum and it wasn’t enough.
After this excursion Madrid became one of my favorite cities. It reminded me of a small New York but much older. It has so many historical buildings with beautiful architecture. I am definitely bringing my family back here in the future.
