Spanish Sunsets

I think I've seen some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world...and they're right outside my window!



Que bonita! (How beautiful!)

Welcome to Madrid... (Art)

After settling into Toledo and beginning our classes, our school visited Madrid! The excursion for school only lasted a day, but my friends and I decided to stay in Madrid for the rest of the weekend. We visited two Art Museums: "El Museo Del Prado" and "El Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza".


Encantamos arte! (We love art!)

El Museo Del Prado has one of the world's finest collections of European art, dating from the 12th century to the early 19th century, based on the former Spanish Royal Collection, and unquestionably the best single collection of Spanish Art.





El Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza obtains a collection of over 1,600 magnificent paintings, dating from the 13th century to the late 20th century. The museum features many different styles of painting and movements, such as Fauvism, Impressionism, German Expressionism, Realism, and much more. My friend and I took our time comprehending and appreciating each piece. I really enjoyed both of the museums we visited.
