Creator's Key Takeaways
It's not crowded, it's not loud, it's real Spain.
We were in Madrid yesterday and it was raining and I would say only 10% of the people had umbrellas.
The atmosphere was warm and buzzing, and having Hema and Paco guide the experience made it feel effortless.
It's a reminder that history isn't frozen in time, it continues to evolve.
