On September 28th I arrived in Madrid, Spain for my first vacation since 2018. The reason I went to Madrid was because my mother, who is a hair stylist for a prestigious salon, goes on an annual work trip this time of year to different cities around the world, and this year she invited myself and my two older sisters along with my aunt (her sister) to join her. The plan was to stay in Madrid from Sunday September 28th till Thursday October 2nd, after completing her scheduled work appearances, then we would all go to Barcelona via train to enjoy a few days there until Sunday October 5th. Usually when I go on trips I like to constantly move and take in as much as possible in the few days I have, but since I was with others I had to slow my pace a bit, though I still was able to see a lot.
Sunday and Monday I focused on touring Madrid with my oldest sister Anastasia and my mom as much as she was able to join us. In Madrid I did the typical tourist things, including eating at historic restaurants over a century old, touring the Royal Palace, enjoying a Flamenco show, walking the historic streets, and visiting a few noteworthy churches, including the oldest active church in the city and all of Spain which is dedicated to Saint Nicholas from the early 13th century.
