Madrid Be Your Guide in Madrid

I am an Uber driver who operates a BMW in Madrid, Spain. I service customers every weekend. First I clean my car and purchase mineral water for to-be customers. I also prepare charging cables in my car because I want my passengers to have a good lasting impression of Madrid. Using Uber to ride requests is actually very convenient.

The Uber software displays yellow and red regions on a map; these regions are called surge areas. Red areas will often have lightning bolts in the top right hand corner and indicate the current range of surge pricing. Based on the color of the area, you can choose which area you want to target. Of course, there are times where I have headed towards a yellow region only to arrive and have it become a normal region… When the Uber software projects a sound notification it means that a person nearby has requested service. After waiting around for about five minutes I received my first customer of the day, a cute young lady who had come to tour Madrid. On the road I continuously struck up conversation with her. In fact, I somewhat acted as a tour guide. The young lady was curious about everything to do with Madrid and kept asking me all kinds of things. I learned that she was a big fan of museums and recommended that she go to the Museo Nacional Del Prado. At the Museo Nacional Del Prado you can enjoy the large class works of well known artists such as Raphael, Rubens, Titian, Bosch, Goya, Caravaggio, and Velasquez. I especially love Bosch’s work The Garden of Earthly Delights; it is just simply the best of its kind! The young lady asked me, “What are the must-see places of Madrid?” I told her that she must go to the Manzanares River. I think that the river is one of the most underrated areas of Madrid. Travelling along the river there are many places that you can see, you will pass by bridges, statues, fountains, a park, the river itself, and even a stadium. I recommended that she walk along this route because itis very safe, relaxing, and quiet. Furthermore, the park is absolutely spectacular. The park has a relatively nice coffee shop that can provide everyone with drinks and lunch. A very magical place is located just inside the park: the drinking fountain area. People have nicknamed the area “The Madrid Beach”. Of course it is not actually a beach but there are many areas in which to sun bathe and many water fountains. You can also take showers there! This is a mustsee attraction in Madrid and I strongly recommended it! The young lady was very grateful for my suggestions, when I arrived home that night I found that she had added me on Facebook.

I don’t work as an Uber driver to earn money but in order to socialize. Through my conversations with my passengers, I have made many friends from many different countries. We talk about each other’s experiences and the latest trends which make me feel very happy and excited. This doesn’t mean that generating revenue isn’t good, but that revenue is not the most important thing.
