5/5 experience for this Flamenco show! There were so many options in the city, but I'm really glad…read moreto have picked this one. The room was intimate which made the performance even more powerful and personal. The dancers were amazingly talented ! The ticket we got also came with wine. We were shuffled out pretty quickly after and our wine took forever to come to the table , but the performance made up for it completely.

Originally not part of my itinerary. But after talking to a…read morefriend, I decided to book a flamenco show. Perfect timing as it was right after my scheduled dinner. I'd actually never seen one before so this was a great treat. It was a full hour of pure emotions - pa dum psh. There were 2 female dancers and one email. Three other dudes completed the ensemble. One guitar player and 2 singers - all male - completed the ensemble. The venue opened 30 mins before the show started. That was just enough time for the bar to serve drinks to those imbibing. I didn't since I was doing a tasting menu right after. The full hour show was riveting. The male dancer was such a sight. They all had amazing footwork skills. The singers had amazing voices. I would for sure watch this again.

Meanwhile, the companion in some ways of the other review I just wrote, of the Palace of the Stock…read moreExchange in Portugal, this tour is definitely of a gaudy palace built by royalty with a whole *lot* of stolen gold and jewels, so I was glad to learn that it isn't *still* owned by the royal family, it's owned by the state and mostly used for state functions, other than its purpose as far as tourists are concerned, being a museum of a fraction of the riches Spain owns (and not a coincidence, presumably, that they also built a museum of *more* of the riches owned by Spain, on display right next door, for a combined, reduced price.) The self-guided tour is worth it if you like seeing a bunch of super ornate architecture, furniture, artwork, etc. We got snippets of the actual tour as we passed each other at various points - I was happier being able to walk through the route at our own pace, which took about an hour. I felt sorry for the people whose tickets were for any time the following day, though, as it was randomly closed all day the next day we were in Madrid a few months ago, which I gather isn't an altogether rare thing to happen, that they take reservations and then close last minute. We got in in the nick of time, it seemed. By the way, if you have bags, you do have to leave your bags downstairs in a locker at a small additional fee. It was small enough I do remember exactly how much it even was, though, so it clearly wasn't a big deal.

Palacio Real de Madrid is probably my favorite palaces we've seen on our travels…read more I loved that they had these massive air purifiers so it didn't smell stale or dusty (it was incredibly comfortable), but I also adored the absolutely gorgeous purple wallpaper and how much care had been taken in the decor inside the building. Absolutely do a tour if you have a chance as ours gave such a clear impression of the space and added such a nice depth to our visit. It was one of my favorite things we did while in Madrid, and I can't recommend visiting Palacio Real de Madrid enough.
