đŞđ¸ Madrid | Hello Again, Old Friend! đ
This trip back hit different: ⢠Hotel prices went wild đ¨đ¸ (Westin-tier pre-COVID = now barely gets you an AC Hotel by Atocha). At least taxis didnât spike! ⢠New skyline spots popped up: RIU rooftop, Palacio de Cibeles (OG), CĂrculo de Bellas Artes... Our office even upgraded to a Gran VĂa Baroque balconyâviews for days. ⢠Gran VĂa â Atocha pedestrian lanes = finally finished! Madrid remains Europeâs best city for slow living (and getting gloriously lost). đşđź MadrileĂąo Mode: Activated ⢠Work hard, play harder: 3PM tapas â 3AM caĂąas đť (My Spanish magically improved with each drink). ⢠Golden hour obsession: Leica/Sony in hand, chasing insane sunsets every night. đ ⢠Nailed a Spanish speech (DELE C1 rust â B1? But applause = victory!). ⨠OjalĂĄ nos veamos prontoâuntil next time, mi amor. #MadridVibes #BusinessTripDiaries #CityWanderer #SpanishSunset #TapasAndSuffering đ¸
