Cibeles Palace

Today we visited Cibeles Palace, better known as the old Communications Palace or the main post office.

To get there we took the metro in Nuevos Ministerios and got off at Banco de España. Usually when we go to places like this we have to buy tickets, but today the entrance to the building was free. We only waited for 15 minutes at the main hall and then took the elevator up to the 6th floor. But that wasn't all. There we had to take the stairs for another three floors. 

Up in the rooftop we took lots of pictures and then returned to the inside waiting area because it was really sunny and hot. 

When we went downstairs, we interviewed some tourists that were passing by the square. At first it was a little hard so we paired up and tried to aproach people by asking them if we could help them or just introducing ourselves. We asked them about the purpose of their trip, what they liked about Madrid, where they came from... Here you can see some of my classmates taking with an Englishman.

And when each of us talked with at least two people, we took the metro and went back to school.
