Sunsets & Roses 🌄 Madrid is Full of Magic

Because of Sanmao, I’ve always dreamed of visiting Madrid. In Retiro Park, I felt the pulse of the city’s "green lungs." At Mercado de San Miguel, I hunted for street food treasures. Inside the Prado Museum, I stepped back into the Renaissance. … Here, there are endless streets to explore, endless food to devour, and endless beauty to behold. 20,000 steps a day—every corner whispers "Madrid magic." ✈️ Transport From China: Direct flights from Shanghai Pudong (14h).
