Today I leave you with some pics of my city, taken a few weeks ago in the middle of the terrible heat we, the madrileños, have to bear in summer.
By the way, especially for those who are from other countries, do not ever think of visiting in summer, this is an oven, literally. January would not be the best time either for the opposite reasons... To me the best months regarding the weather would be March, April, May, October and November. Of course it can rain, but at least it is unlikely that the thermometer will drop below 5º C (at least during the day) or over 25ºC (although in May it can bring some surprises).
The photos are taken around the Prado Museum, a must as a visit. Can you believe I have never been in the other side to the building? Sometimes I wonder if it happens to everyone as it does to me, that as I reserve most of my free time for the holidays (ie trips) I visit very few places in my city, I have always the excuse that I can return at any other time. Perhaps we should take more breaks in our busy lives ... I was here that day by chance and by chance also had the camera. But I must confess something: I loved being a tourist in my own city!
Wish I was below that water..
