Good started. January 2013. Madrid - Budapest

Thinking about 2013 like a year for crazy things and massive about trips I couldn`t miss a trip to Budapest. 

Last time when I have been there was 7 years ago and it was my favorite city in all Europe during my Erasmus in Italy. 

But just before Budapest another visit should be done and go to see the match in Santiago Bernabeu where Real Madrid won over Celta Vigo 4-0 :( 

"Churros with chocolate" with good company after a hard party in Madrid always are good.

Just some thing you can find in any shop in Spain. This one is in the "Mercado de San Antón" highly recommended if you go to Madrid. To enjoy fresh fish, good meat and the best wines.

                                             "Lacón a la gallega" looking for any good place to eat you don´t need to get crazy. In this city you can try to eat in any place and for sure you´ll be right having a Menu of the day there for 10euro. Including 1st plate, 2nd plate, dessert, drink and if you are lucky they offer you the shot. Otherwise go for it and pay for a nice galician "Crema de Orujo".

Would you like some fresh fish with "Alvariño"???? hehe

Of course, between a lot of food we always have time to watch a football match. I have to tell just one team was on the pitch. but Is nice to see the "Celtiña" again playing in this nice stadium.

Uns pementiños??? (Pimientos de Padrón, uns pican e outros non!!!) aquí es que no picó ninguno

We found a nice place to have some beers and delicious "Sangría". It´s call "Las Cuevas de Luís Candelas". You´ll find there a galician waiter from Ponteareas (Pontevedra).

 Great place to have baby pig but for sure a bit expensive than the place we are going usually. But go there and try.

After a great 4 days in Madrid. Thanks Diego from everything!!! It was time to come back to London to work for a 3 long days and go to the airport again this time to Stansted to fly with the lovely Ryanair.  I love Easyjet. I need to tell that. Always flying to the great place sometimes a bit expensive than other low cost companies but good routes and not bad service. Somebody knows if they have a PointsCard or something like that??? hahahah I can tell I made few miles with them......

And.... then we arrived to Budapest. Never changed after 7 years. The lovely Spa next to Heroe´s square is in the same place. That is almost all Budapest. 

The best place to stay is  http://www.maverickhostel.com/eng/index.php

Such a nice place to spend your days in Budapest. Next to many nice shops and just a small walk to the river. I definitely recommended to go there if you are coming to the amazing Budapest.

For this trip a good thing it was the price of the Ryanair ticket. We paid £23 return. I was surprise because now is not so easy to find things like that. 

Heroe´s Square by night

 Walking around Buda

Lovely place in Buda to have a good coffee with a nice customer service. "Waltzer Café". It´s a litte cafe with a great choice of South American, African and Asian coffees.

 Some pictures by night. Budapest is a great city but probably just I can show how amazing it is with the pictures by night. It was really cold and mist. so then you can imagine how can be if is in summertime.

Parliament by night

Fisherman`s Bastion

Then I need to add more information about Budapest. I have to mention the great food that they have there and some pictures about the big Central Market where they are really famous because of the Paprika.

NEXT STOP. RIO DE JANEIRO (BRAZIL)

from 1st of Febraury till 1st of March.
