First week in Madrid

I have been in Madrid now for 3 weeks. The first week my mom was with me so she could see where I was going to live. We explored the city together and did a lot of sightseeing.

Puerta del Sol

Calle Carmen

Beginning of the Gran Via

Weapon of Madrid

The first day we strolled around in the center to look for some stuff that I needed to buy for my room. We also found a huge Primark here in Madrid which is the biggest store I've ever seen.

Near my room there is a huge park, called Parque del Retiro and all the people from Madrid go there on Sunday. The park is 1,4 hectare with a nice little lake in the middle where you can rent a little boat.

Crystal Palace

Also close to my room is a really big train/subway station that connects a lot of trains in Madrid. Which is ideal for me since I have to go to school by train as well.

And then here are some other pictures I took during the week.
