Trip to Madrid, Bilbao and Burgos

Three weeks ago we traveled to Madrid, Bilbao and Burgos. I was very excited for this trip and it went too fast!

After a lot of hours in the bus (I was completely tired) we arrived to Madrid. The first day we went to Madrid (2 days approximately), and I loved this city! There were very huge buldings and some made me think of "Mari Poppins" film, I don't know why, I think that it had a lot of banks, as in the movie. Absolutely lovely places. For example, I liked "El parque del Retiro". It was very huge and we did'nt have time to see it all, the "Cibeles" square, the Queen's Palace, the "Almudena" cathedral, and Boris Izaguirre. Yes, Gemma, Lourdes, Paula and I saw him. He's a great likeable person. The hotel was very good too. And the first night in Madrid, we went to visit the city with a lot of girls of the class A and B, and it was the best night in Madrid, but the second night  was a very good night too. Well, the 3rd day we went to Bilbao, and it meant five hours in the bus again. At night, we went to visit Bilbao, and it was beautiful, but I expected other thing. The day in Bilbao I got foot pain and I didn't walk so much. At the fourth day, we went to Burgos. It was a extremely nice city, I loved it! The cathedral and the streets very welcoming. The fellow classmates said; Burgos was the best night! A lot of party in the disco! But, I didn't know this, because I stay at the hotel because my foot hurt all. It was horrible!

But, this trip was, clearly, the best in the highschool, better than Italy! Above, for the people we went with.
