While Barcelona has Gaudí and the Mediterranean, Madrid has the Royal Palace, the Prado Museum, the Retiro Park and more that makes this capital city another attractive spot for many. It is hard to compare Madrid with Barcelona because they are of two different colors, but every once in a while, you will notice that the two Spanish cities sometimes wear the same hue.
Diego Velázquez and Fernando Goya are the renowned artists that have embellished many Spanish cities. Their art makes a presence in the Palacio Real, the Royal Palace in which the King of Spain used to reside. The exterior architecture of the palace in itself is a marvelous site, but inside is where all the treasure and beauty lie. Each room within the palace overflows with art, paintings, mosaics and antiques, and holds onto the years of Spain’s history. Don’t just look around; make sure you look up as well because those stunning chandeliers and beautiful ceilings will definitely leave a mark. You will most likely be surrounded by a mass of other tourists, but there is a peace about this place that will make your visit a serene and pleasant one.
