My desired travel to Madrid

I would like visit Spain,especifically Madrid, but if i will go on the country i ll travel others cities, like Barcelona for example, for visit the Gaudi"s buildings.

My choose of Madrid is maindly because i want to know the long park that goes through the city, named Madrid Rio. It have a lot of spaces, like kids games, beautiful bridges, gardens and  diferent river views, and i ll love walk there, and maybe take an ice cream, or ride an a bike.

I want to study here to, (is a reason for learn english too, to aplly for a universitaryship) and can learn more about urbanism, in adittion to know that big and new proyect.
