[L4L] Rainy Madrid.

"interesting.."
Salam,
and greetings from the Spanish land,

Our flight from Egypt boards at 0945,
takes about 5hour to reach Madrid, Spain.
at around 1300 we arrived at Madrid Barajas Airport.
Our first task is to get into a Metro (Train),
and get to Sol Station.
Its not that hard to find the metro station,
but it get quite exhausting as we have to switch train for about three times to get there.

"We're in Madrid bros!"

Next,
Our guide, Faris, recommend us to stay at Angel-something hostel,
but unfortunately,
it was full and we had no reservation,
So we start to wandering around Madrid on a rainy weather (yes, rainy) while searching for a good hostel.
And..we found one with much cheaper price, alhamdulillah.
Then,
we went to the Autobusses Estacion to buy tickets for our trip to Malaga.

As night fall,
we went to Gran Via,
They say there's a lot of shopping complex,
buttttt, we just walking around on a cold night of Europe.
It was pretty good actually,
the weather is just nice.

We search for a halal food restaurant,
On the internet, they say a halal food restaurant exist nearby named el-califa.
So we went inside,
and,....
just say we dont know how they say it was a halal restaurant.
=.=

We also manage to visit a square named Plaza Mayer.

Not sure what's there.
It's only a square.

Then,
Arif enthusiasm brings us finally to Zara's boutique.
And everyone went shopping like crazy as there's jacket, jeans and many more with half price deductive.
"Zara"

At around 10.30 pm,
we went back to our Hostel.
Make a fine sandwich of tuna and egg.

Buenos Noches!
Gotta wake up early tomorrow!

plaza mayor..
when christians won over muslims in conquest of that particular city,they built plaza mayor..
it's like a symbol of their victory against the moors(muslims)..
every city in spain has plaza mayor in it except in barcelona..

wallahu a'alam..
