[Music]
i don't know about you but every time i
go to a new city i'm always trying to find a bit more unique places or even if
it's mainstream attractions just to to extract something that is different
but i'll take you to a few places today that i find
unique here in madrid
and they turn this i'm headed to another super unique place we're gonna catch it
at the best time look at this
it's right there no i'm not going to
show you plaza mayor although it's amazing i haven't visited none of them
none of them they're all new to me hopefully you enjoy them so it's
exciting for me too i didn't know uh corpus christi is so
central we're going to this special place
let's see if we'll make it on time always rushing for something
[Music] oh it's so nice huh
there are no real signs so in this place the nuns gave an oath
not to leave the monastery and they're baking these special cookies
with different flavors you can buy but let's see where they are
oh it's right here buenos dias
okay
okay and i did not get any
any spanish words i couldn't translate anything so it's a 10 euro for half a
kilo muchos gracias e para amigos
so they have all these different flavors and they come in a box
the nuns prepare these cookies i mean how amazing is this
you can get half a kilo it's the smallest amount you can buy
it's 10 euros but i think it's great you're supporting
uh you know the cause and work and i'm sure they're great cookies we're
gonna try that [Music]
i'm headed to another super unique place we're gonna catch it at the best time it
is not your standard
destination not your standard destination
it is very very unique very different unusual to be placed right in madrid in
the center pretty much in the center so excited to see it but i mean look at
this it's so beautiful and this dog is having the best time
ever cute
wow you did it again madrid you did it again
a city where you can just walk be amazed at pretty much every corner the
buildings around the people are so
calm how can you have this big city
and still no rush
places and objects and buildings that were not
in the plan not necessarily on the map and let's see
if this place is unique definitely the location
and the meaning behind it and the origins are unique so you go up this
hill are you ready and there it is
so this is the temple of the boat an egyptian temple
it was near the nile valley it was gifted to spain because spain helped
financial and other aid when there was a big flood from a dam that they were
building and they helped save many a few monuments in egypt
so they donated this to spain
in 1968 and now you have this unusual egyptian monument in the middle of the
capital of spain i think it's pretty unique
and it's on a hill so i'll show you the views
and it's a wide area i think there was supposed to be water
here i don't know why it's not
it's dry it's hot i don't know i hope it didn't just evaporate no i'm just
kidding but there was supposed to be water right here
[Music] it's still pretty beautiful they say
you can see some of the best sunsets in madrid
here i guess we're not the only ones here for
the sunset look at all these people and i'll just walk you around to see
we can see what's on the edge over there
but it's very beautiful and it's not it's not super busy i mean it's a it's a
big space so people are just walking around
[Music] and admiring this
structure oh
my look at this it's like a fire
i am loving the vibe here everybody's so chill and it's only wednesday
and it seems like this is something that people do here on a regular basis
listening to some you know in the artist and just look how chew everybody is i'm
really liking the atmosphere so cool and when you add the beautiful
sunset that cannot be captured by any camera i think you have to be here to
see it it's so beautiful [Music]
dreaming this will be the [Music]
at day we're getting the shade here from the trees
we've been to retired park many times but this time we're going to see
something unique something we've never seen before and it's right
there
so this is the only commonly acknowledged monument
of the devil himself and
we've never been here i think it's worth seeing it's you know it's public it's
open it's free and it's pretty spectacular sculpture designed by
ricardo belvere for the third world fair in paris and it was commissioned by the
museum it wasn't commissioned but it was bought by prado and after that donated
to the city of madrid and it's been you know owned by the city of madrid since
1885. it's made out of bronze and it has
different evil creatures at the bottom and by the way an interesting fact i
thought is that this sculpture this monument it's built
666 meters above sea level we all know what that number means
and i like the contrast of you know the dark forces
versus this bright beautiful colors of the flowers
yellow and dark beautiful contrast
again the [Music]
the battle of the good and the bad if we can call it that way
they even named it it's the plaza the plaza of the fallen
angel angel
okay i think it's time to try the corpus christi
cookies at the restaurant at the spanish
restaurant we're trying food from the outside don't do that
very powdery now look what happens with my nose
[Music] oh i like them
perfect with coffee
dry dry not too sweet
no overpowering flavors
pretty good i think they're called guyetas
but guyetas it's all cookies i believe so i really don't know the flavor of
this one i don't know don't say what this one is it has helina
vino blanco in manteca
pretty plain but very good and powdered sugar
[Music] the beauty of this city is simple and
daily this is the most accessible city to fly to
as this is one of the safest cities in europe
oh this is my train
[Music]
