To date I have visited Spain twice: in 1983 and 1999.
The first time, I caught the overnight train from Paris, sleeping in a couchette. I awoke in Madrid. I was in Madrid for only a few hours. My impression was of a hot, dusty, bustling city. On the return passage through Madrid's Chamartin railway station, I was frightened when some police officers started waving their guns around in order to break up a heated dispute about seat reservations in the railway compartment.When I next visit Madrid, it will be to visit the Prado gallery, and the Thyssen Bornemiszta gallery (particularly for its German Expressionist collection).
The second time, I flew from Birmingham to Barcelona.
