Prado Museum
We have booked a Prado tour to get the insights of a Museum where you can get lost. Best idea ever! We enjoyed very much the experience.

Museo del Prado fantastico!
Our guide Fernando was muy fabuloso. His knowledge of history of Spanish and European art history was outstanding and we learned so much. Fernando took us deep into the paintings and we gained a great appreciation for the Spanish masters like Goya and Valezquez and their close ties with the Italian Renaissance painters. Bravo Fernando!
