Madrid , April 2011...2nd Part

These are the pictures my friend did.
Now you can see the city through her eyes.
They are really nice shots, and details full of grace.
Again, can you name these places?
I am sure you most definitely will.
If you follow the itinerary they draw, it will be easier for you to guess.
Good luck!

The Summers were in Madrid

Dear friends and students,
The reason to create this blog has been having my dear family from Spokane visiting me in Madrid this November 2008.

The purpose will be to create new tourist guides from my students in class this course and maybe following ones.

"Do you know Madrid well"
"Can you take friends from abroad or outside Madrid around the city"
"Which would be your favourite places in the city"

We will make entries and post our findings on the important sites in the city.
We will also include interesting links.
And we will learn a lot too about the capital city in Spain.

Good luck to all of us.
