An evening at Parque Europa

Parque Europa contains several of Europe's most famous monuments such as The London Bridge, and The Belém tower.  I prefer to travel very slow and I will not be seeing the real Eifel tower, Trevi fountain, or Berlin wall anytime soon, which made seeing the replica's in Madrid very enjoyable. There is also a little restaurant that sells chocolate con churros! What more could one want?


Parque de Europa is located in Torrejon de Ardoz, which is 25 km outside the city. If you are staying in Madrid for more than a few days it is definitely a worthwhile destination. Entrance to the park is free.

Madrid in January is best enjoyed with chocolate con churros. Holiday lights line the streets as people finish up their last minute shopping for Reyes Magos, which is celebrated January 6.

So grab a bocadilla de calamares (fried squid sandwich) and join the rest of Madrid.

Pamplona

In the summer of 2011, I was an au pair in Pamplona, Spain.  Pamplona is a beautiful city located in the North of Spain. It was a wonderful experience that left me wanting to see more of Spain, and that is why I am studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain in the Spring of 2013. I will be updating this blog weekly, so check back soon!

Happy Holidays!
