In July my wife and I took our first trip to Madrid. I was really exicited and couldn't wait to go to Spain. My question is what is up with the People in Madrid? They think they are the greatest in the world, They act like they're mad all the time they have almost no personallity, Madrid is a very beutiful city I was impressed, and the transportation is outstanding,The food was terrible I couldn't wait to get out of there. On the other hand Toledo was really great people more friendly and a beutiful city. I would go back to toledo anytime. My wife is a native speaker so language was no problem, I also speak fluent spanish, but the people in Madrid didn't really appreciate my Mexican Acent. We went to the Bullfights in Ventas, The Bulls were really fantastic, to bad they were better than the Matadore's. Who were those guy's? What a wasted afternoon that was. I was ready to leave after the 3rd bull. Those so called Matadore's were supposed to Confirm the Altertaniva in Ventas. They should join the circus, because they wasted beautiful Bulls. And the people, I thought was at a "Funneral" the way the public looked. Thank God I didn't pay to much for the tickets. $34.00 each and that was to much for that Cartel. Really enjoyed Seville, Barcelona was interesting also. Next time I think I'll try the South Granada or Valencia and avoid big cities like Madrid. When you order something in a restaurant the people say "Dime" {Like Yeah tell me in a real grouph tone of voice. Not polite at all Felt like saying sorry I bothered you.
