 The afternoon sun was scorching the streets and monuments. The line stretched out like a golden serpent, and the thermometers read 35 degrees. In reality, it felt higher. Despite this, we decided to go on July 25th. It wasn’t a Monday or a Friday, but Madrid was celebrating Santiago Apostle Day, the patron saint of Spain. Here, on holidays, museum admission is free, and such an opportunity should never be missed. After half an hour of waiting, the queue started moving, and we entered the Royal Palace.
