Here for a week on my own (until the 27th of April) and am desperately looking for stuff to do. Rented a car, which proved a deeply stupid idea - downtown Madrid hates cars, while anything worth visiting would take most of the day driving back and forth. Got tickets to the Warner brothers park for tomorrow (kinda, gotta get in touch with their support staff) but otherwise, I'm not sure what to do here. Edit - nope, I'm an idiot. Lost a day travelling and forgot the week starts on Monday here, so I spent the only day the park was open hanging out in Toledo. I'm interested in basically anything except museums. (I'd give Goon Meets a try, but it doesn't look like there are a lot of Spanish goons) Xander77 fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Apr 24, 2023 |

Went to Valley of the Fallen (closed, even though it should be open according to the website) El Escorial (has some amazing mansions in the town itself. Or MacMansions? What's the difference, anyway?) and finally, Segovia (didn't have time to check out Aviilla. The road to Segovia is hella winding (annoying to drive at night) through a thick forest (major change from the prairies and fields elsewhere around Madrid). Checked (or rather didn't, because it's always closed) the bullring, the aqueduct (meh) the cathedral (got the belltower tour - a bit of a chore with my poor fitness, but nice views) and Alcazar (meh compared to the cathedral).

Of course, a better car and driving during the daytime would have helped. Xander77 fucked around with this message at 19:42 on May 2, 2023 |
