Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to Spain We Go

Gilles and I were treated to a business class ticket to Madrid today. It was only a 1 hour 15 minute flight but felt pretty special. We were even served a meal in that short time and our luggage came off the carousel first. Our hotel is conveniently located first on the main square (Puerta de Sol) which is a large place to people watch and immerse yourself in the vibe of the city. For supper we walked about 15 minutes away from the touristy area and enjoyed a meal in a basement cave restaurant. Walking back to the hotel we could really see how everyone gathers at little bars and restaurants to socialize and enjoy some late night food. The atmosphere was jovial and relaxed. Tomorrow we will explore the city in earnest.Läs mer
