Madrid, Spain What We Loved and Didn't After 5 Days
We arrived in Madrid expecting grand architecture, famous landmarks, and world-class museums. But after spending 5 days exploring Spain's capital, what surprised us most wasn't what we expected. From the walkable neighborhoods and incredible food culture to Retiro Park and the city's relaxed atmosphere, Madrid slowly won us over in ways we didn't anticipate. In this video, we're sharing our honest first impressions of Madrid, the places we visited, the food we loved, and why this city left such a lasting impression on us. Hi, we're Kiran and Dharmesh from KD Travel Warriors. We retired early in 2023 and have been travelling the world full-time ever since, sharing our journey of intentional living through slow travel. #Madrid #MadridSpain #SpainTravel #SlowTravel #RetirementTravel As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases Dharmesh’s Sling - Bellroy Lite Sling (lightweight crossbody bag): https://amzn.to/4mFXYCL Kiran’s Sling (Bellroy Lite Sling Mini): https://amzn.to/46Vv90H Kiran’s Backpack (Osprey Womens Fairview 55Travel Backpack): https://amzn.to/3Ut8j9o Dharmesh’s Backpack (Osprey Men's Farpoint 55Travel Backpack): https://amzn.to/4fAWBTz Osprey AirCover Protector for Backpack: https://amzn.to/4fCPmdV Dharmesh’s Wallet - Bellroy https://amzn.to/41bpAYq DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal: https://amzn.to/4m9CHlf Anker 747 Charger 150W: https://amzn.to/4oB2fJG Universal Travel Adapter, VINTAR https://amzn.to/4rYCk0n Anker Nano European Travel Plug Adapter: https://amzn.to/4pS2Pm0 Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max: https://amzn.to/4oBuAiT Travel Power Bar with USB Ports: https://amzn.to/4mKU0co SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD: https://amzn.to/3UtMAOt Tru Earth Compact Dry Laundry Detergent Sheets: https://amzn.to/3UWzoSq Tru Earth Fabric Softener Strips: https://amzn.to/4mECciT Microfiber Travel Towel Set: https://amzn.to/41F1qFN Plastic Mesh Zipper Pouch Document Bag: https://amzn.to/4fwWecM Nomad Suite Compression Packing Cubes Set: https://amzn.to/3V5Wnud Watch our Azores travel video: 👉 • Portimão, Portugal Travel Guide | Why Ret... 🚀 SUBSCRIBE for more slow travel adventures! 🔔 👉 / @kdtravelwarriors 👋 We're Kiran and Dharmesh - a Canadian couple who retired early to slow travel the world on a budget! 🌍 After selling everything we owned, we embraced a life of adventure, freedom, and meaningful travel.
