Tips for Madrid, Spain

• Take the metro if you are tired of walking.
• Watch your belongings.
• Don’t be stupid lol.
• Switch off between ordering mojitos and sangria. It’s a super hard decision to make but switching off between two fabulous drink choices saves time for eating more paella. Or tapas. Or paella… Shit idk this is another tough decision.
• Try new things.
• Live, laugh, love
