Day 15 of your road trip in Spain is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Madrid before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
At the top of the list of things to do today is to explore La Latina, a neighborhood that captures the true essence of Madrid. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.
Maximize your last day in Spain and go on a shopping spree in Madrid’s shopping center, the lively Plaza Mayor. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Spain.
Before you conclude your road trip in Spain, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Madrid.
Enjoy a lovely meal at La Mi Venta, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Mas Al Sur is another top choice with a popular menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Madrid. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Spain!
