Madrd is a good base for daytrips. By an accident a few days before going to Spain i found out about a small town called Segovia which lies on the other side of the mountains, merely 100km from Madrid. It is know for a roman aqueduct that towers over the lower part of the city. Just by looking at the photos I instantly planed out my excursion, I loved it.
Oh Madrid! I've had an utterly brilliant experience in the capital of Spain. I found myself there because I took part in Athens programme - a one week exchange that takes place in different destinations in Europe, I was in Milan for the same reason last year and it was great but Madrid was honestly so much better.
I have spent 10 days there in total from which the course took 5 days and another 2-3 days were for social activities. My course was about discovering and analysing the city, but I will come to that later. It helped me to get a deeper understanding of a certain neighbourhood and its inhabitants, as we worked with local teachers who were both architects and sociologists. I find this experience extremely valuable.
