I am deeply in love with Madrid!

I don't know Madrid yet, but this documentary made me feel like visiting all these places. A fine job !

The inquisition killed no more than 20,000 people in 3 centuries, the French killed 21,000 in Saint Bartholomew's massacre in 1572 yet the Spaniard got the bad reputation for intolerance. Folks accuses of heresy were allowed to name 10 men and women who hated them and if one was one of the 2 accusers they were set free.

I love Spain and hope to revisit her one day

I have become almost addicted to these travel videos..joyous wanderlust.
