Out and About in Madrid

We had an amazing day in Madrid starting with an orientation walk led by Zuzanna which included a visit to the Royal Palace and Cathedral, the Latin Quarter, the Latino Market, the Plaza Mayor, and Restaurant Botin which has been in operation for 300 consecutive years. The wood fire was kept burning even during COVID. On our own we navigated our way to Parque Del Retiro where we had lunch beside the lake, a visit to the Museo Del Prado, where we saw the smiling Mona Lisa (go figure) and found our way back to the hotel for a siesta before heading out to dinner for some seafood paella and then to the famous Chocolateria San Ginette where we got churros and chocolate to go. Gilles found a kindred spirit outside a trendy tapas restaurant and copied his pose. A delightful Sunday was had by all.Weiterlesen
