IT’S SPRING, YOU’VE GOT TO BE IN MADRID!

Nine Reasons Why

–

–

–

(1) It’s Spring and you’re at the Retiro  Park playing the guitar and singing? That’s the life ! Anyone would be singing out loud
too if they were in
this beautiful park!   

–

–

–

–

(2) Sure it gets cold. The sun may forget to shine. But Madrid will keep you warm with hot chocolate and churros! Oh that warm feeling — and taste!

–

–

–

(3) You don’t have to tell foreign students how lovely it is to be in Madrid  in Spring! They’ll tell you!

–
(4) Spring in Madrid is a kid power-napping in the middle of the sidewalk before bouncing back on his skateboard. It’s nighttime. So?

–

(5)  This crowd at the Plaza de Callao, downtown Madrid, has been roused from winter hibernation by a Spring ice cream fest!

–

–

–

(6)  The elixir of life brims in the capital city where Don Quixote was born. And where Spring is brought to life  (not the other way around)!

(7)  People wear carnations in their hair.

(8)  Parrots talk their heads off to Almond Trees when it’s Springtime in Madrid!

(9)  There’s no place like Madrid in Spring to fall in love!
