Day 6...the finest of Spaniard culture offered!

Today was an eventful day! First of all I would like to say by 10:00 am it was 100 degrees outside!!! YIKES! We began our day walking through the PLAZA DE ESPAÑA. In the center of the square we saw the monument to Cervantes, which depicted characters from his most famous work, Don Quixote. It was ok but still a lot of construction around so we couldn’t get up close. Next, we visited the PALACIO REAL. This grandiose palace of 3,418 rooms is the Spanish version of Versailles in France, a royal court designed to impress! Rising above a steep slope overlooking the lush gardens, the palace is built entirely of granite and white Colmenar stone. The palace was commissioned by Philip V in the 18th century. This place was beyond gorgeous, especially the chandeliers! Then we went to have lunch at a buffet. I’ve observed that Madrid is an Americanized city that would allow someone moving there to feel comfortable with the transition. There were many American food chains such as Starbucks, McDonalds and much more. After that we took a tour exploring the PRADO, one of the world’s finest art museums. Inside was a collection of European art from the 12th to 19th centuries based on the Spanish Royal Collection. This place definitely threw me for a loop because I didn’t think it was going to be as interesting as it was. My most favorite painting was THEE very last oil on canvas painting I saw. It was named The Conversion of the Duke of Gandía by Jose Moreno Carbonero. It was an absolutely breathtaking mural of emotions. So much so that I researched it when I got back to the hotel! Once we left the museum, we went to take Flamenco dance lessons where we learned the BASIC steps and rhythms of the dance. This was fun! Right after the lessons we were served dinner and then watched a full live Flamenco dancing show. THIS WAS MESMERIZING! THIS WAS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PART OF THE VISIT! I believe in my heart I will revisit Spain because of all the beautiful things it has to offer.

Prince Carlos of Viana Jose Moreno Carbonero 1881 Jose Moreno Carbonero was a 19th-century Spanish historical painter. Hailing from Málaga in Andalusia, he studied in Paris and worked in Rome before settling in Madrid and teaching at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. Carbonero’s approach to historical painting broke from precedent in that instead of focusing on the drama of great historic moments in Spanish history, he concentrated on the human sentiments and attitudes surrounding them. Carlos IV of Viana, son of Juan II of Aragón and Blanca I of Navarra, was heir to the kingdoms of Aragón and Navarra in 15th-century Spain. When his mother died, his father married Juana Enríquez, which further strained the fraying father-son relationship. Their dynastic confrontations escalated into armed conflict and eventuated in the incarceration of el princípe, in deference to the medieval tradition of discarding inconvenient relations. Don Carlos was freed after twenty months but was imprisoned again by his father seven years later. He died shortly after his release from the second internment without having ruled successfully and leaving no legitimate heirs. His half-brother Fernando II succeeded their father and united Spain when he married Isabella I. In El princípe don Carlos de Viana we see Don Carlos in captivity richly adorned with furs and jewels, apparently comfortable and content. However with deeper consideration we see the expression of his face betrays the bitterness he has for his fate. While this painting is a narrative snapshot of a Spanish historical figure, it also contains a didactic application for us today. When we contemplate el principe’s misfortune, we can comprehend the vanity of seeking escape or salvation in material or pretentious things. A soul is not fulfilled by sumptuous finery. It is not soothed by rare edition books, nor is it redeemed by a person's ancestry. It is evident that excessive and lavish comforts ultimately offer a soul no recompense. Finally, we can look with empathy when we think about those who do not have physical freedom such as the incarcerated, homebound, paralyzed, or enslaved.
