Madrid, my hometown

As you guys know, Madrid is my city, I don't want to be too exhaustive with descriptions of its geography and landscapes, I'd rather show two videos with some amazing aerial views of Madrid:


I hope you


like it

Also, here are some landscapes from the surrounding areas:

Patones, a little village in the mountains

La Pedriza, a rocky mountain North from Madrid

One beautiful "pond"

Pantano de San Juan, our biggest "pond"

Our castle

I was born in this very town

But my favorite excursion is the Old tiny train of the mountains

Nice videos Guilão!

They made me think about spending my next vacation in Spain. I've always wanted to visit Barcelon better, but I guess I will also have to visit Madrid after your presentation.

Lilianca, I am really glad I made you feel like visiting Madrid!

Just that ->

And another thing: Beautiful city...

Europe as a whole must be gorgeous! I love its historical feeling... I'm so faaar.. buá.

Yes, Guilão. Right now my daughter is spending her vacation in Portugal, and she will certainly see all that you showed us, next week.
Her plans are those: two day in Barcelon and three in Madrid before coming back to São Paulo.
And here I am just waiting for her impression of your beautiful city and for my vacation in August.
I couldn't stand the cold weather now!
I guess in August I'll enjoy the visit fully.

How lucky she is!

Thatha, if visiting Europe is what you want to do in this life, you eventually will, you'll see, just be patient.

Hey, lili, Madrid in August is almost every day at 40º C by day, are you sure you prefer that?

You know that we are really used to that temperature, don't you?

Summer is always a good time to travel. Your luggage is lighter and the clothes get dry fast when washed. You don't need to carry too many things.

I agree with the folk above, nice presentation guilon!
You could do a great job as a Tourism Ambassador, hm...I also like to travel now!

You seem to live in a beautiful town, both a big city and nice surroundings. I didn't knew you got snow in the winter, must have missed that part on the geography lessons in school.

Yep...you will have plenty of opportunities to travel if you wish Thata, you have all your life ahead.

And yes... (Smart girl) You are right Lilian about travels in the summer...light packing! Perfect!

Yes, lili, you are right, what was I thinking? You come from the sunniest country in South America!

Pias, yes, everybody thinks Spain is just a country full of sunny beaches, but it really is a mountainous land. People hardly believe I learnt to ski 40 kms from my home

Looks like great snow too!!
Yes ....I guess that we have our ideas about other countries.... that's stupid!
Maybe it's just the opposite with Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, people seems to think that we don't have summers that can be really hot, well...maybe not as hot as 40... but we have days when temperatures are around 30!

Not +30 today anyway, it’s snowing! (Finally, since this winter has mostly been rainy) And yesterday it almost was spring in the air, crazy weather!

Talk about crazy weather...
Eu here, happy because when I wake up the sky is cloudy it's 24° (mmm, cold) and rain is coming... but four hours later the sun is out again... Right now: 23:10 and it's 27°, wow! He, this is so bad for health.

Wow...+27° 11 in the evening.
So I wish you rain Thata, Hm, it doesn't feel good or nice to wish you rain, but if that's what you want...that's my wish.

Hehehe, thanks. It's always good for me.

Wow Guilon, those were terrific videos!

I absolutely loved the simplicity of the videos-- sometimes less can definitely be more.

The commercials were very reminiscent of Mastercard commercials, in my opinion, where they state the price of material things and then state that quality activities are priceless.

For me, a trip to this beautiful land would be priceless.

You are totally right about the simplicity thing...

Thanks Guillon, I'm struggling to choose a place for our vacation in September. We are still debating between Catalonia (Barcelona is an old dream of mine, I've been always fascinated by Gaudi) and Castilia. Makes me taking Madrid in consideration a little bit more.

As per 40C... well we survived 46C last year in Romania....

Wow, this is something... Wooow.
