Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Oh, I really feel like I have just escaped from a prison. No wonder people say that once you enter the palace, you will be worried all over the world. Now you are sending a letter. This is not only referring to women, but I feel the same way as a man. The air outside is fresher."

Looking at the dazzling streets of Madrid with people coming and going, I murmured to myself. And beside him was Aragorn. In addition, he knew that there were no less than 20 members of the Royal Guard following him. The Royal Guard is an organization that is different from the military. It specializes in security work and protects important people. If we really want to compare, they are like the later Zhong Nan Hai bodyguards, the US Secretary of State for Protecting the President, etc. The special service teams are the same. They are all selected from the best people in the military. Of course, this does not count. The most important thing is to be clean. It is said that these people can defeat more than ten average experts in the army when fighting alone. It should not be false. This is what Lexton, the Minister of Defense, said, and it was also approved by Jack Stern. When the two giants in the military agreed, there was no reason for Alfonso not to believe it.

Different from those street markets in the Eastern world, here in Madrid, the mainstream is still dominated by shops. However, there are no fewer people on the street than in those busy markets in the East. More importantly, you will never be able to imagine it if you have not been to Madrid. How beautiful it is to get Madrid.

As an Asian in the 21st century, Alfonso never expected that a city could be so beautiful. After staying in a space full of exhaust fumes and noise for a relatively long time, the pure sky here makes people feel an incredible sense of respect and worship. The local people seemed unable to understand Alfonso's extreme longing for blue skies and white clouds, and a comfortable life free from restraints. Perhaps in their view, spending every day slowly and relaxedly, sleeping enough hours, walking down the street to eat breakfast leisurely, and then... I walked slowly to work. Although the pedestrians on the street did not know each other, there was a warm and friendly atmosphere. The air was pure from morning to night, and fresh and good ingredients could be bought everywhere. They were all so sparse. Ordinary things. People here seem to be living in a world they love. To describe it in various story versions, this place is simply like a paradise on earth.

"Aragorn, do you think there is any other city in Spain that can compare with Madrid in terms of life?" Sitting in a fruit drink shop, drinking juice with rough pulp still left in it from the boss, Alfonso sat next to him. Aragorn asked.

Before Aragorn could answer, the boss got there first.

"This gentleman asked a good question. His accent sounded very much like that of Madrid. He probably rarely goes out. Hehe, that friend didn't know what his answer was, but I knew there were two places like here. Not bad at all."

"Two?" Alfonso became interested, "Which two are they?"

The typical southern European character is enthusiastic, optimistic, unrestrained, and practical. It is quite different from the British's reserve, the German's rigidity, the American's restlessness, the Japanese's seriousness, and the Spanish character. It is absolutely evident in him.

"Seville is such a Spanish city that you will fall in love with once you meet it." The boss said, and then he explained in the same way for fear that Alfonso and the two would not believe it:

"Serbia is really beautiful. Life in Seville is leisurely and has a real feeling. It is not dreamy and very peaceful. I especially like to watch the afterglow of the sunset there like water droplets sprinkled on every corner of the city. It's amazing to see As the whole city gradually darkens; I even like to get up early and go to the small restaurant on the street corner, where I can stay from breakfast to dinner and even supper, drinking hot chocolate and various kinds of bread throughout the day, and the enthusiasm I would chat with the neighbors at the table and take their pleasure as my own; I like to carry my luggage and walk along the Guadalquivi River without boredom. Every time I go there, I will deeply remember every smiling face around me. Because they are all so sincere, that's why it got the name of sincerity." The smile on the boss's face became even bigger when he said this.

"Look at the tone of your words just now, it's very artistic." Not only Alfonso and the two were listening, but there were other customers in this store of more than 100 square meters. One of them was a male customer next to Alfonso. asked. Alfonso looked over, and the other party smiled and nodded after seeing it.

"I didn't catch it while living in Serbia. I lived there for more than five years. The artistic flavor in Seville is so strong that it can make your sinuses excited. The performers on the street are constructing a beautiful and vivid scene on the street, and the paintings Painters with different styles also worked tirelessly from morning to night. A short piece of Carmen's chant came out clearly from some corners. After passing a certain corner, the graceful flamenco dance suddenly bloomed. In front of you."

"Is it as good as you said?" Another man with a mustache who was about 25 or 6 years old said to the tablemate who asked Alfonso the question: "In my opinion, Madrid is the best place in the world." Yes, everyone, think about the wonderful things about Madrid. First of all, let me say that I am here from the UK. In my impression these days, Madrid is a very suitable city for walking. Walking in the old town of Madrid, Even people who don’t understand art at all can feel the strong cultural atmosphere here. If you can walk slowly and take a closer look, go from the Puerta del Sol in the center of the city to Plaza Cibeles, or from Plaza Mayor to the Royal Palace Direction, there are art and cultural treasures along the way, and there are travelers like me who enjoy browsing the historical sites everywhere. On a beautiful sunny afternoon, in the outdoor cafes on the streets, I watch the locals and tourists walking with their big dogs. The tourists talked attentively with broken foreign languages ​​​​and gestures, and I felt the local people’s optimistic and proud spirit of being sincerely willing to let tourists know about Madrid’s glorious past.” The man said this, and then his tone changed. road:

“In particular, I discovered a typical neoclassical-style building, which is the Prado Museum, where I saw many extinct cultural relics that I liked. The collection there covers many famous European works of art from the 14th to the 19th century. , the main collection is the paintings of masters. There are about 8,600 paintings. In the huge exhibition hall, all the famous works of masters in the history of classical art are included. Are each of these paintings precious? Especially Picasso’s various works are my favorite.”

"Isn't it Seagull Barcelona?" The boss was obviously not convinced. He even ignored the dissatisfied looks of the locals next to him and said: "Every time I travel, as long as I go to places, I will try my best to visit and find something different from the last time. Elements, I think there are few places that can compare with the feeling that Madrid gives me except Barcelona and Serbia. Although I have been to Barcelona several times. However, every time I go to Barcelona, ​​I have to' There is nothing new about re-visiting the works of the architect Gaudí: every time I have to sit on the super bench in Park Guell for a long time, and then touch the pillars of the Hall of Hundred Columns. You can still see them when it rains Go to the colorful lizards spraying water on the steps leading to the candy house, and then marvel at how crazy Gaudí and his sponsors were in investing in this real estate project that basically yielded nothing;

Every time I walk around the Sagrada Familia designed by Gaudí, I marvel at this mysterious church that has no straight lines or planes at all, but a bold combination of spirals, cones, hyperbolas, parabolas and other curves. , can so perfectly combine delicateness and clumsiness, primitiveness and luxury, roundness and sharp corners, etc., I feel a sense of ecstasy every time I see it; every time I go to see Mira Apartment, it is like A piece of rock on the seaside was soaked by the sea water for a long time when it was raised, and then was ruthlessly weathered by the sea breeze when it was raised, so it finally became the current appearance full of holes and irregularly twisted. The uneven walls of Mira's apartment, as well as the uneven eaves and ridges, are like a set of peculiar music, and you can hear a little new insight every time.

Barcelona is actually Gaudi's city. These simple, abstract and surrealist buildings have an unparalleled beauty. "

Alfonso felt funny as he watched a few people arguing about the ranking of the most beautiful cities in Spain. However, he did not participate. In his opinion, Spain is the most beautiful. As for those cities, they are just the petals of the beautiful flowers in Spain that embellish the overall beauty. Without waiting for the outcome of the final argument among several people, Alfonso had already left there after Aragon paid and came to Almiranti Street in Plaza Mayor. It is said that this is the only street in Madrid that is famous for its bustling city. Several talents, well, it seems that he watched the winger Daniel and the forward Puyol who performed very well in several games in London, England. When he was still encouraging them, a few of them even invited him to their home as a guest. Now he Here we are, it seems they have no Spanish football events this month. I wonder if they are here?
