On my preference list to travel around the different places in Europe, I always had a special appreciation for the Spain as the daring bull fights there were the real craze for me and I even many times planned to have a tour of Spain, however, either for this pretext or the another one, I always kept on postponing it. This time, finally, I decided to tour the Spain and boarded the plane and de boarded straight at the Madrid international airport. There I picked up the choice to stay at one of the hotels in Madrid and luckily I picked up one of the cheap hotels in Madrid with all the best possible amenities and services in the hotel, there on. After having a full and fledged tour of the city, I decided to have a tour of some most uncommon yet attractive places in Madrid. So there on my adventure trip I started the tour of Madrid with the Parque del Retiro that is very attractive park at the center of Madrid. Despite not being in the official itinerary, it is famous street performances at the weekends. There for a moment and so I enjoyed canoing in the pond or even enjoyed the jogging and walking trails.

After that I moved to Natur Alcala which is a famous spot to be toured and traveled around the spring and summer months and this place is a great place among and in the company of kids. The park keeps the fruit and vegetable gardens, vineyards and herb gardens. There too occur a good number of agricultural activities even for the entire family as well. Tren de la Fresca is a famous train that is much popular among the citizen of Madrid as the “Strawberry Train”. There you can have a ride on this particular 19th century steam engine. The railway stops there even involves the Royal Palace and the Museum of Fallujah. The train makes journey there on Saturdays and Sundays, and I even not left away that opportunity off from me to have a journey on that train.
 
On my traveling journey hither and thither, I suddenly I came across the Prado Museum that is revered as one of the greatest and the known art museums of the world. The museum there remains open Tuesday through Saturday. There I went out to the Las Meninas, which is the most famous painting in the museum. The paining also keeps a very big painting and collection of the Goya collection. The Prado is situated at Paseo del Prado. The next spot on my trip was the Cosmo Caixa Pintor Velazquez that is a famous and interactive science museum is the great place to live with children. This picturesque town is too located about 18 miles away from Madrid. The town too had a rapid and attractive main square that has many Spanish cafes and restaurants. As that was enough on my part to visit that city on the day I moved back to my hotel that despite being reasonable I found to be one of the best Madrid Hotels.
