Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
Madrid was another great city to visit, not quite as cheap as Barcelona, but still good value. Here I visited the bull fighting, the live Flamenco, Plaza Mayor, Del Prado, Royal Palace and the Santiago Bernabeu football stadium (pictured above). There are lots of hotels in Madrid, some very good value. In Madrid they also offer a 2 day+ tourist metro pass similar to that of Barcelona.
Madrid to Sevilla AVE bullet train
The Madrid train station, Atocha, is a tourist attraction in itself, it has a garden inside and also a memorial to the Madrid train bombings of 2004. The 2 hour bullet train to Sevilla Santa Justa was €46 one way and very impressive. These trains leave quite frequently and go to most major cities in Spain and France.
