Six Sights to Enjoy in MadridIf you’re lucky enough to be traveling to beautiful Madrid, Spain, I’ve got some super sights for you to check out. May and October are two of the best months to visit Madrid. And without further ado, let’s get to the list.

1. Arab Wall

The Arab wall is the remains of an old Moorish military outpost. There’s a part there that has concerts and plays in the summer months.

2. Campo del Moro

In English, this means Moor’s Field. Campo del Moro has clusters of trees and enjoyable winding paths. Follow them to the Royal Palace.

3. Catedral de la Almudena

An historic piece of architecture, the building of the Catedral de la Almudena started in 1883. You can enjoy this attraction for free.

4. Jardines Sabatini

The Jardines Sabatini, or Sabatini Gardens, are the formal gardens of the Royal Palace. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to unwind, this would be an excellent spot.

5. Plaza de Oriente

Since we’re at the Royal Palace, let’s stay. The Plaze de Oriente is a plaza that’s surrounded by magnificent and massive stone statues.

6. Zoo-Aquarium

What’s a vacation without a trip to the zoo? Madrid has one of the best zoos in Span or Europe for that matter. Admission is about 15 Euros for adults and 12 Euros for kids. The zoo’s hours change with the seasons, so be sure to check ahead of time.
