Rick Steves' Europe

S03E01 The Majesty of Madrid

Madrid is filled with treasures from its illustrious past. We explore the opulent Royal Palace, delve into art-filled museums, and take a closer look at Picasso's most famous work. Immersing ourselves in the vibrant spirit of the city, we are captivated by flamenco performances while savoring dishes like fried pigs' ears. To gain insight into Spain's tumultuous history, we take a brief excursion to El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen.
