AUTHOR's POV


Zekiel and Mercedes started their honeymoon with a 7-day trip to Paris. Today is their first day in the City of Love.


The tour begins ..

"Were on our day one, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a captivating journey through two remarkable landmarks - Debod Temple and Plaza de España," tour guide

"Our adventure begins with Debod Temple, an ancient marvel that has found a new home here. Debod Temple, originally located in Egypt, was dismantled and reconstructed in Madrid. As you stand before its grandeur, notice the intricate hieroglyphics and reliefs that narrate tales of ancient Egyptian life. This temple, dedicated to the gods Amun and Isis, serves as a bridge between two civilizations, inviting you to step back in time and marvel at the craftsmanship of a bygone era," tour guide added

Zekiel: Wow, Ced, look at Debod Temple! It's huge and so old.

Mercedes: Yeah, the carvings on it are like a history book. Wonder what stories they're telling.

Zekiel: Imagine, this temple was in Egypt before. Now it's here in Madrid. That's pretty cool.

Mercedes: And the way it stands out against the city and the greenery around it is just amazing.

Zekiel: It's like a mix of old and new, right? The sunlight on those carvings makes them look alive.

Mercedes: Totally! It's like a time machine right in the middle of the city. Let's see what's next, maybe Plaza de España has more surprises.

"Now, let's proceed to Plaza de España, a lively square pulsating with the energy of modern Spain. Picture a semi-circular haven adorned with vibrant tiles, each representing the diverse regions of this beautiful country. Stroll along the canal, cross its ornate bridges, and feel the heartbeat of Spain in every step. As we explore Plaza de España, take a moment to appreciate the fusion of classical and Renaissance architectural styles that grace this square. The sweeping crescent, the majestic central building, and the inviting alcoves create a symphony of design that captivates the eye," tour guide

"Together, Debod Temple and Plaza de España offer a harmonious blend of ancient history and contemporary allure. So, let's embark on this journey, where the echoes of the past and the pulse of the present converge in a mesmerizing dance. Enjoy the exploration, and may the stories embedded in these stones leave an indelible mark on your memories," tour guide.


"We're on our second day...Hello, lovely folks! Welcome to our Madrid city tour. Our first stop is the beautiful Retiro Park and we'll proceed to" tour guide


Zekiel: This Retiro Park is so peaceful. It's like a big, calm garden.


Mercedes: Yeah,I love the greenery. People here really know how to relax.

"Now, off to Las Ventas bullring. It's a bit different but quite interesting. The bullring is a famous place for bullfighting - a traditional Spanish spectacle," tour guide

Zekiel: And that bullring, Las Ventas, was quite something. Even if you're not into bullfighting, the building is impressive.

Mercedes: True, it's a big part of Spanish culture, they say. What did you think of it?
