Anonymous user:“The black iron railing patterns and the top floor of the facade are the highlights. Compared with Casa Milà and Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà is a bit plain. It is best to visit Milà first among the three treasures of Gaudí, then Casa Milà, and Sagrada Familia. You will feel that the experience is getting more and more exciting and shocking.”

小欣:“I chose the Cathedral of Seville over the Royal Palace of Seville. First, the Columbus coffin: Columbus's coffin is housed within the cathedral. The sarcophagus, adorned with statues of knights from the Four Ancient Kingdoms carrying the coffin, is a symbol of Spain's Golden Age of Exploration. The most notable part of Seville Cathedral, constructed with large amounts of gold, is the main altar's sculptures depicting the life of Christ, depicting various stages of Christ's life. Seville Cathedral is one of the five largest cathedrals in the world, third in size after St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and Milan Cathedral in Italy. It is also the world's largest Gothic cathedral. The story is particularly fascinating.”

Picasso used various painting methods to express his own emotions casually. Basically, it was not purely aesthetic, but rational and abstract. He reconstructed and combined objects to bring people newer and deeper feelings!”

This old restaurant with more than 110 years of history is most famous for cooking various shrimps. Tempura shrimp, garlic olive oil shrimp and grilled shrimp are the signature dishes. I personally think that garlic olive oil shrimp is the best, but the taste is not comparable to the spicy crayfish in China [sad face]. I think if you happen to pass by, you can go in and try it, but there is really no need to come here specially. Anyway, we don’t have the urge to come here again...”

Once you walk in, you will know that the taste is right. If you want to experience the atmosphere of Spanish taberna standing dining, come here. The snacks served every day are different. My friend and I tried almost every kind. The taste and atmosphere are very Spanish.”

没有蜡olling:“Madrid Dstage, although it has two Michelin stars, feels like it has three stars. I looked at TripAdvisor and found out that it is the number one restaurant in Madrid. I chose 12 dishes. The amuse-bouche is cuttlefish balls. It looks so delicious that I thought it was a cold dish. I took it in my hand and put it in my mouth and found out that it was hot and bursting cuttlefish. The tiger milk shrimp sashimi is a dish with a full experience. The chef will give you a dish in the open. Kitchen explained the cooking method of the whole dish, the ingredients, and the Spanish fruit wine. Naturally, it is my second favorite dish. The third dish I like is seafood mousse with conch. I have eaten cooked conch in London before, and this half-cooked one has a strong fresh seawater flavor that is unforgettable. The fourth dish is smoked wagyu, which is about half-cooked. It is smoked in the box with charcoal and then sliced ​​and served with basil and other sauces. The fifth favorite organic dish is roasted avocado with peanut butter. The window outside the bathroom is full of plants, and the waiter also explained it skillfully. If I visit Madrid again, it must be because I really want to come to this restaurant again.”
