Globe Trekker Adele Ucar begins her seven day journey in Madrid marveling at Madrid-Barajas Airport's newly built terminal 4 before making her way to the city center. Day two finds her touring Madrid's old city by bicycle, visiting the Royal Palace, Madrid's newest art space the Matadero and the El Prado museum. Her visit to Madrid takes her on two separate day trips out of the city, the first to Segovia, where she feasts on roast suckling pig and visits the Roman aqueduct. Adele's second day trip is to Toledo where she visits the famous Gothic Cathedral and visits a sword maker in his factory. Back in Madrid, she visits El Rastro, the city's famous flea market, attends a bullfight at Las Ventas Stadium and enjoys a meal from one of Spain's most celebrated chefs, Paco Roncero, before ending her journey at Madrid's gay pride parade.
