How to Spend 4 Days in Madrid (Updated 2025)

"Housed in a former 16th-century palace where single noblewomen became nuns and brought their wealth, the monastery’s dull exterior belies rich interior art: I appreciated the many works of art and the main staircase covered with 16th- and 17th-century murals; access is by guided tour only and admission details include free entry on Wednesdays and Thursday evenings." - Matthew Kepnes
