It is a big city, and you can do everything you want with the respect that the English people always have.” – Fernando Torres
61. “I am in Paris. Yes, ma’am, I made it back. I came up from Berlin, stopped here ten days, fought a losing battle against my deepest inclinations, pulled myself out by the hair, and went to Madrid. Madrid is a lovely enchanting city, and there was almost ready for me a kind of penthouse full of sunlight, a roof garden, and so on. I gave one look at it all, returned to the hotel and went to bed and wept bitterly for eleven hours. Why? Because I had seen Paris and could not endure the thought of being anywhere else.” – Katherine Anne Porter

Long Madrid quotes and captions for Instagram.

Each night we’d leave our hotel to begin a new adventure in Madrid and nine out of 10 times, we’d walk through the Plaza Mayor.” – Emilio Estevez
65. “Because, Madrid, in reality, is nothing special. It does not have a great river, and hardly any skyscrapers. No channels, no lakes. Neither glorious ruins, nor sea. Madrid lacks a lot of things. But it has people in the streets. The unexpected corner. The variety. The contrast. The constant animation. And its customs. It is worth getting up early – for once – to live one day of the life of Madrid.” – Miguel Mihura
66. “After the cafes of Paris with their exquisite wines and creamy fromages, crepes and steak tartare, screaming Adore me! Madrid was these store-bought hunks of unyielding cheese and brick-hard baguettes, consumed in leafless Buen Retiro Park.” ― Michael Paterniti
67. “Madrid is a strange place anyway. I do not believe anyone likes it much when he first goes there. It has none of the looks that you expect of Spain. Yet when you get to know it, it is the most Spanish of all cities, the best to live in, the finest people, month in and month out the finest climate. It is in Madrid only that you get the essence.” – Ernest Hemingway
