Walking Madrid Second Day<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

On the second day we started walking along the Main Street – Calle Mayor\u00a0<\/em> (we passed the chocolate shop San Gines for those who have not yet had breakfast) until the Mercado de San Miguel ( see Map). This is one of the oldest markets in Madrid and is awarded as it was in its golden age.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next to the Almudena Cathedral<\/em> is the Royal Palace of Madrid<\/strong>. At this time, it is not the residence of the King of Spain<\/strong><\/a>, but only acts of protocol. It began to contribute in 1738 and was completed in 1764. It has 3418 rooms and is larger than the Palace of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris – <\/strong><\/a>France<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Temple<\/a> of Debod<\/strong> was inaugurated on July 20, 1972 after two years of reconstruction. It was a complicated process since, in addition to not having good plans, in the dismantling and transport some stones were lost.\u00a0<\/span>The temple has two floors, in the upper you will find a very interesting model where you will see all the temples that were in the country of Nubia.
