Once you’re in Prague, you’re into Chimney cake aka Trdelník 🥮 🤤

Mercado de San Miguel, Madrid

It’s one of the oldest markets in Madrid. It still keeps the old-school Spanich markets charm, just much bettee lighting and fancier tapas 🍲

You can literally taste Spain in one place. People line up for fresh oysters and octopus like it’s a festival. We have also tried this one, a bit exotic I must say 😋

If Madrid is a city that never slows down, then Parque El Retiro is its deep breath, a place where locals and travelers alike pause to enjoy the rhythm of nature, art, and everyday life.

Originally created in the 17th century as a royal retreat for King Philip IV, El Retiro (which means “The Retreat”) was once a private playground of palaces and fountains. It opened to the public in the late 19th century, and since then, it’s become Madrid’s most beloved park, a space where joggers, musicians, skaters, and poets all find their corner of peace.
