I landed from Munich at around 11:00 AM and had the rest of the day in Madrid till my next flight at 11:50 PM. This was my first time in Spain and I was excited. I made my way out of the airport and to the metro station and bought the €8,40 Tourist Ticket for 1 Day.
I planned on talking a walking tour at 3:00 PM so I had time to see a couple of places on my own before that. First I took the metro from Madrid-Barajas Airport to Puerta de Toledo to see the neoclassical arched gateway built to honor Fernando VII.
Then I took the metro from Puerta de Toledo to Plaza de España to see the Fuente del Nacimiento del Agua and the Monumento Cervantes.
After spending some time there I took the metro from Plaza de España to Callao and joined the Free Walking Tour in Madrid at 3:00 PM. It was a nice walk around Madrid just shy of 3 hours. I’m sure there is so much more to see if one has time. After the tour ended I walked to Primark on Calle Gran VÃa to do some shopping for the kids and then took the metro from Gran VÃa to Madrid-Barajas Airport to catch my flight to Delhi.
