1. The first thing you see when you go to Madrid, Spain or elsewhere in the world is the airport. Most airports look the same, so flying into the Madrid-Barajas Airport was something nice and different. It had a colorful wood ceiling sustained by pillars in form of a "Y". Besides the colorful part of it which was nice because it wasn't you're plain airport, the ceiling had texture. It was in the form of many waves.
2. Cathedral in Toledo, Spain. It was one of the most interesting buildings I've seen. It had enumorous amount of carved out sculptures on the walls of the building. It had arched ceilings and stain glass windows. It held paintings made by El Greco, famous artist. It's amazing that this gothic structure was built from 1226 to 1493.
3. Palacio real de Madrid. The King's Palace. It was one of the nicest things to see. It was like the white house of Spain. Located next to the Cathedral of Madrid. It has a barroc style and was built from 1738 to 1892.
Infrastructure.
2. Street names. So there are no signs in the corners of an intersection that saw what street you are on. Nor are there signs that hang from street llights to tell you where you are. So, where are the street names? They are located on the walls of buildings.
3. Baday Toilet (Bidet). When you first see one of these it's kind of odd. You always hear about them but you never actually see them, until you go to Europe. I guess it is sanitary to use one of these so it's also odd that they wouuldnt be used in the USA.
