    An absolute blast visiting the Royal Palace of Madrid! The architecture is stunning, and the interior is even more breathtaking. The guided tour was informative and insightful, and we got to see some amazing rooms, including the throne room and the chapel. The palace is steeped in history, and you can feel the weight of it as you walk through. Make sure to get there early to avoid the crowds.

    At Park Güell, the main attractions are basically just the colonnaded walkway, the candy house at the main entrance, and the plaza. Aside from that, it's like any other hike. Therefore, it's recommended to take photos at the main entrance first, then leisurely explore the rest of the park to avoid crowds. About an hour should be sufficient for the entire hike.

    The Cathedral of Seville, the third largest in the world (after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Paul's Basilica in London), was originally a Moorish mosque and later converted to a Catholic church. The main body of the cathedral is Gothic, the dome and some decorations combine Renaissance, Baroque and other elements, and the central altar is covered with gold foil, sacred and magnificent.

    I was impressed by the Picasso Museum, especially the evolution of his work from his teenage years to his maturity. My favorites are his blue period and cubism, and I can feel the expression of his emotions and the uniqueness of his creations when I appreciate it. The museum’s architecture is also charming, with a sense of history in the five ancient palaces. Although there are many exhibits in the museum, the layout is reasonable and it doesn’t look crowded. If you are interested in art, this is definitely a place worth exploring in depth
