Madrid - user Valentine - 05/07/2007
I have been living in Spain for more than a year (Barcelona, Madrid), but since I’m working for an American company, my Spanish is still at beginner level. Of course I can say ‘one-two-three’, ‘beer’ and ‘hello’, but I’m often confused in hotels and restaurants. The last few months in Madrid, I’ve been using XS2Madrid on my cell phone. Spanish people tend to react a little strange in the beginning, but they really appreciate your effort to get to know their language. Especially when going out with friends, we had a lot of fun with the fun & flirt sentences. The best thing is that you can add some phrases you use often to your ‘favorites’ section, and after a while, I started knowing them by heart. Besides that, the city guide provides some excellent reviews and insider tips about Madrid’s hotspots, restaurants and clubs, some of which cannot be found in the regular city guide books.

Museo del Prado     review Address Paseo del Prado Open Tues-Sun and holidays 9:00 – 20:00 Price Adults € 6,00 Students € 3,00 Seniors and under 18 Free Website http://www.museoprado.es With more than 30,000 paintings, the Prado is one of the most important and oldest repositories of art in the world. It began as a royal collection and was enlarged by the Hapsburgs and later the Bourbons. In paintings of the Spanish school the Prado has no equal; the best known works in this collection of masterpieces were already present in the original collection: Goya and Velázquez, Tizian, Rubens and especially Bosch. It is absolutely unmissable for anyone with even a casual interest in art, but be selective on your first visit. Description:
