What to do and see in Chueca, Community of Madrid: The Best Things to do
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

This museum is set in a house built in 1776 and is decorated and contains a huge collection of paintings and furniture from the Romantic period which occurred in the middle of the 19th century. You can walk around quite freely an be immersed in the period. There are lots of security personnel watching you however. There is a lot to take in so allow 2 hours. There is an English guide which is very worthwhile and many of the artefacts have an English translation if you can read the tiny font. The temporary exhibition covers the changing fashion in hairstyles. There is a very pleasant cafe too. Entrance is a bargain 3 Euros but it is free on Saturday afternoon and all day on Sunday.

A very well done museum about the history of telecommunication from its exception right through to the present day, an amazing array of different phones, cables and any associated phone equipment even a switchboard from the 50's that you can use. there are toilets and a small cafe there is a lift up to the Museum so it is wheelchair friendly and all on one level. There was a separate exhibition on the next level on Photographer William Klein which is also well worth a visit.

Foundation Mapfy is accommodated in a building designed by the famous architect Agustín Ortiz de Villajos for the Duchess of Medina de las Torres which I found it underwhelming. But if you love art, you will love the immersive displays kept here. Is the place to watch full Surrealist Miró, Joanhe passed by Abstract, Cubism... Foundation Mapfy got a collection of 60 masterpieces to learn, to watch and enjoy! Especially there is Free Entry on Mondays from 2.00 pm to 8.00 pm and general admissions only Euros 3 per person. I strongly recommend you to have half hour stop here in case you are having lunch at the nearby restaurant liked I did. But if you ask me if this worth a special detour to come and visit, I will have to say no unless the tempeory exhibition is extraordinary. So please check it up before making any decision. Mapfy基金會位於一棟由著名建築師阿古斯丁·奧爾蒂斯·德·維拉霍（AgustínOrtiz de Villajos）為梅迪納·拉斯·托雷斯公爵夫人設計的建築物。 如果您熱愛藝術，那麼您會喜歡這裏展覽的超現實主義藝術家Miró，Joanhe，特別是逢 週一下午2.00 pm至8.00 是免費入場，而且平日一般門票每人僅3歐元。如果您像我一樣在附近的餐廳吃午餐，絕對值得來參觀一下。但是，如果您問我是否值得特別前來參觀？個人認為除非臨時展覽是有特色，否則我並不見意。
