look at the line
if we were just like um like 40 minutes
late i don't think we would have made oh
my god it's going all the way there
that's crazy
madrid is the capital of spain and like
any big city it might be hard to decide
what to do if you only have one day here
i saw some things i haven't seen before
but first let me catch my plane from
istanbul to madrid
just landed from istanbul
t1
not the best room you know we're trying
this time
not to use a taxi but actually get a
transfer like a metro train transfer and
you catch a free bus from terminal 1 to
terminal 4 and we'll try to find the
shuttle that's quite a long ride you
basically go out of the airport to
another airport it goes all the way
around stops at terminal two
skips three and now we're at terminal 4
but it is
literally like a separate airport
it's pretty far so let's find now where
the train is
we took a super slow train and arrived
at our hotel set in a 19th century
building and the lobby has this stunning
book case as a centerpiece
it's a very chic hotel i'm impressed
[Music]
it is very convenient because it's right
next to oh i love the bricks it's right
next to the train station
what a nice view
check this out
it has seven floors and each floor has
something
like that
seventh floor
it should be this restaurant
nope
are you sure it's on the seventh floor i
mean
doesn't look like it
i'm hearing plates
the sounds of plates
[Music]
[Applause]
no oh there it is
[Music]
beautifully organized buffets i've seen
they're not like
millions of things
but just everything is so beautifully
designed the way they're presented they
have the meat over the scale
the breads are on some card like it's
beautiful and you have this
gorgeous view outside it's just
excellent
[Music]
i guess they have an elevator
right here
[Music]
hotel it's right next to the station we
have a little bit of time before our
train
what's the best thing to do is go and
check out a museum nearby
and reina sofia i believe it's called
reynolds here it's one of the best
museums here it has like
it's really good it has a mixed
collection of deli picasso greens
and many others we're gonna find out i
saw this elevator yesterday
when we were walking i didn't know it's
for it's part of the
museum
maybe it goes fast maybe maybe we can
get in it is a pretty big museum so
allow yourself at least three hours to
see
the collections and
i love it in spain all museums they have
free admission certain times of the day
[Music]
together with the permanent and
temporary exhibitions you can see some
artworks even in the backyard
[Music]
um
there are many video installations
sculptures found objects
[Music]
look at the line
if we were just like like 40 minutes
late i don't think we would have made oh
my god it's going all the way there
that's crazy
and the museum was so full
yes it is saturday but people are hungry
for art i'm very happy about that
and it's my first time seeing guernica
in person
it's pretty spectacular i know it's a
very hyped
work of art by picasso but it's uh i saw
some things i haven't seen before
when you're when you're looking at it in
person you really
can appreciate
art experts try to interpret the meaning
behind the horse and the bull in
guernica for many years but when they
ask picasso what the symbolism is
he simply answered i make the painting
for the painting i paint the objects for
what they are this bow is a bull and
this horse is a horse
by the way they have a system now of
course they warn you you cannot take any
photos and if somebody just pulls their
phone they start beeping and it drives
so much attention
so
keep in mind if you're coming no
photographs allowed
and this is the glass with it oh
[Music]
very nice museum highly recommended
with this i only scratched the surface
of what this incredible city holds
[Music]
watch my video here to see what i
actually discovered on one of my best
trips to madrid
