Trip to Madrid...

So on the 29th May 2013, my boyfriend moved to Madrid in Spain as part of his placement year for uni. One of the advantages of this is the fact that I will be frequently making trips over to visit him and as Madrid is one of my favourite cities in the world I am very happy about this :) After 8 long weeks of being apart I finally went to visit on the 16th of July. I spent nearly two weeks there and I had an amazing time, getting to see how well he had settled in to the Spanish way of life and meeting all of his new friends.

I thought I would share with you all (probably no-one as this is my first blog post) some pictures from my trip which are all mainly Conor's good photography ;)

Plaza Mayor which is the famous main square in the city

Most evenings we went to the local bar called 'Montaditos'  which does  this huge jug of beer for €1.  They also do really good hotdogs and chips!

Strawberry Daquiri and Strawberry Caprioski that Conor and I had on a little  Rooftop Terrace.

At the weekend we got the train 30 minutes south of Madrid to a place called Toledo.

Toledo was really pretty and there were lots of nice litle cobbled streets with shops and restaurants.. 

The rest of my trip was spent shopping, going out for dinners and going out with conors friends in the evenings. I made really good friends with his two flatmates (Sarah and Sarah) and I really enjoyed spending time with them and having girly chats.

Overall I had a really good time and I am so sad to be home to Northern Ireland's crappy weather, I am sick of looking at rain already. I would recommend Madrid to anyone, it is one of my favourite places and each time I visit I fall in love with it more and more. I cannot wait for many more trips and I am already planning to go over in September again :D

Lots of Love
