RECAP #3 a nice walk in Madrid City~

one of my best tip for all you world travelers is to buy a book about the place that you are going! When I was planning my trip, my Dad said...." you are only going for a short time, and you don't need to buy a book ", lucky that I didn't listen to him! At least, with the book, i got the map of the train and a few articles about where is where, which is the most famous tourist spots and stuff!!

my book is pretty good and they even have a recommended traveling route, and i followed!

these nice buildings are everywhere in Madrid, which is a photographer's heaven!!

while I was walking in the city, it was just a mater of changing lenses for my camera, lucky that i brought my fish eye lens as it gives some interesting perspective to my shots!

this is the plaza MAJOR, beautiful place, and there are a lot of restaurants next to the corridors of ths square. But since most of the restaurants' menus are in spanish only, i picked the one that has English~ And for your information, the most famous food in Spain is called Jaemon, which is a special kind of ham, quite nice, and I enjoyed it!

it is good to be travelling on your own, you get to control your own pace! but one day, I will be travelling with a couple of best friends~


this is the statue in the middle of plaza major~

a panorama shot of plaza major (created with autostitch) -free shareware for PCs, let me know if you want it. All you have to do is to shoot the whole panorama environment, with a few overlaping area. All you have to do is to import the photos in the program and it will does it all!

my first meal in the city - scramble eggs with mushroom and garlic vegetable soup
