One of the best things Madrid offers is the oportunity to escape from it in the weekends, and a whole bunch of possibilities to practice some hiking, and breath some fresh air (normally missing in the city centre). This weekend I was thinking of going somewhere in the mountains, but the weather is not very good so far (raining) and the forecast is not better. Anyway, this idea reminded me I had some pictures in my hard drive from last time I went to Navacerrada with some colleagues from work.
It was a nice saturday, hiking a couple of kilometres in the north side of Navacerrada, and driving to La Granja de San Ildefonso where we enjoyed a great meal (in the spanish way: a big first plate, a huge second one… and dessert, of course), and we headed to the palace gardens for a more relaxed walk (the food needed some movement 😉 ).
I spent last weekend in Valencia because I attended a wedding of a friend on Friday.
I decided to stay in Valencia the rest of the weekend so I could meet some friends living there whom I don’t meet too often, and also enjoy the city during some nice walks under the sun.
Now, back in Madrid, packing and unpacking in the evening after working… It’s not the best plan, is it?
Hay crisis… No hay trabajo… Así que lo mejor es irse a dar la vuelta al mundo…
Tranquilos, que no soy yo el que se va. Es un gran tío (tocayo mío, además), que conocí en Tokio y que seguro que a los que nos quedamos nos va a permitir viajar un poquito a través de sus excelentes fotografías en su blog. Se va mañana por la mañana, y va a estar tanto como pueda por ahí, pero podéis calcular que tenemos delante nuestra unos 6-8 meses de vuelta por el mundo online. 🙂 Buen viaje, Ignacio. 😉
Una de las cosas curiosas de estar en un país extranjero es la cantidad de palabras que parecen que sean españolas que te encuentras mientras andas por la calle, y de carteles curiosos. Aquí va una selección de los carteles polacos que más me llamaron la atención de la visita a Cracovia…
