Driving to Madrid took us nearly 4hours and a half. We left early in the morning while the day was still dark. There's nights are longer during winter. The first two hours of drive were along the mountain passes, which were quite interesting to drive on. Then the next two hours are along featureless plain land. We saw some solar farms as well as wind turbines on the hill on the way to Madrid.
Madrid is really a very crowded city. After finally getting our way to the parking, we started walking around as suggested by David, who's from Madrid. To my surprise, there were many, many Chinese in Madrid. To have it in perspective, I got directions from a Chinese lady while in Madrid.
I wonder whether is it the festive season that brings all these crowds to Madrid, or it is always like this here.
The weather was not the most ideal for walking around the town, however, the temperature was only around 3 to 10 degC. It was drizzling as well, not very friendly to pedestrians, i.e us from Oviedo.
The buildings reminded me of Oviedo, as they share a lot in common. It might just be my untrained and ignorant eyes ;)
