9 Best Museums in Madrid | Condé Nast Traveler

"Spanish artist Joaquin Sorolla lived here until his death, and his Chamberi neighborhood home was converted into one of Madrid’s most charming small museums. Sorolla is known for his colorful Spanish landscapes, and you'll see inklings of those in the Andalusian-inspired gardens around his former home. Wander from room to admire the dozens of landscape paintings, where Sorolla’s talent for expressing light is on full display—a particularly interesting thing to note as you wander amid the light-filled central terrace. You can get through this museum at a leisurely pace in an hour. You can even squeeze in a visit between shopping excursions along Gran Via or in Salamanca and a tour of Templo de Debod." - Ramsey Qubein
