The tree could be call strawberry tree for you... but it's something different. And last but not least... Madrid doesn't come from "Madroño" (the tree) but from the arabic name "Medina Mayrit" Well, maybe you were in Madrid but I found some mistakes in your comment, first of all "do just how the Madrilenos do by taking things slowly with lots of coffee breaks and long lunches spread throughout the day" Do you really think we do that? people who spent that amount of time drinking coffe or having long lunchs are just the tourist…

Madrid is a beautiful city with a great transportation system. I like to go back and see what I missed the first time such as the Museo del Jamon! Que tenga Bon Dia!

You did an outstanding presentation with those beautiful photos and the brief description to each of them. Absolutely, Madrid is an awesome place; no wonder it's consider, according to the statistics, the second most visited city in Europe. Last year I had the blessing of visiting that beautiful land. VIVA ESPANA !!! Bravo!!! You did an outstanding presentation with those beautiful photos and the brief description to each of them.

I have lived in Madrid many years ago, now I am working as a Spanish teacher in Norway and I must admit: I used some of you pictures in class:-) They are so much better than the others I have found. How I miss it! Thank you for fantastic presentation.
