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.

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.
