If Barcelona has a nice variety of museums to ensure great Art Tours, but Madrid is the real paradise for museum lovers. If you are one of them, make sure to read this post!
MUST-SEE PAINTINGS IN MADRID
For me, Madrid is the city that I like to go back and discover day after day. Its light, its warmth causes buildings to shine and be a pleasure to meet and meet again with. I suggest you start the day running the Retiro Park, discovered after the wonderful cafes for breakfast in front of the Puerta de Alcalá and after that, dive into the streets, looking for my favorite artworks:
Must-see paintings in Madrid
1
Santa Catalina by Caravaggio
Museo Thyssen Bornemisza in Paseo del Prado, the world’s most renowned private collections in Madrid is testimony to the importance the Spanish capital places on art.
2
Las Meninas
3
Paseo por la Playa
Museo Sorolla, house museum straight out of the 19th century. As well as giving us the chance to see an exhibition of his sweet paintings, touring the various rooms of his own house, with their valuable collections of sculptures, furniture and pottery, helps us immerse ourselves in the world of this charming artist.
4
El Guernica
5
Goya Frescos
San Antonio de la Florida. This is a secret place, off the beaten track, where Goya is buried. The painter made the frescos of the cozy church: they are the beginning of what would become his “black paintings” considered the beginning of modernity, psychology transferred to the first paint … by this genius.
