Summer in Madrid, Spain

My summer in Madrid was quite a change from my normal summer routine. I lived right next to a well-known and very calm park. El Retiro was such an amazing park to spend hours in, I did indeed spend hours sitting on benches watching people and little cute dogs go by. I also got to explore the city with CIEE with friends, and by myself which I would have never done where I live in the USA. I also got to go out of the city and see towns with beautiful beaches or historical landmarks and castles. I got to try new foods that would never have crossed my path. And I got recipes for some dishes to make when I got back home. I got to experience the fun daytime of Madrid, and the amazing nightlife of the city. I had gone to Madrid in Session 1, at the start there was rain, hail, and fogginess in the city. However, by the end of the session, the weather's temperature would start going up. I would recommend going to Madrid in Session 1 if the heat may be a problem for some.
