Back from Madrid ... engaged! :) Some thoughts on Madrid.
|
We also went to Toledo, Salamanca, Sevilla, and Segovia.
Madrid:
Some parts aren't really made for cars, people just drive on the side walks :/
For the most part all prices already include tax which is nice.
In restaurants tipping is no customary which is great. There was no lack in service. Prices also include tax already.
People are out late! It is like midnight and streets are full (all age groups).
Everyone freaking smokes. Even teens smoke. Yuck.
Most people speak English.
I think there were ads for prostate screening which is totally opposite of the US policy where prostate screening is discouraged. (interesting)
The train system (Renfe) is really nice but their customer service is worse than the DMV.
