Madrid stopover, 9th Jan. 2025

Travelling, waiting, and more travel.
There's not much to say about the last couple of days, but at least I get to spend an evening in Madrid.
But blimey, it's cold. Dry but cold. Welcome back to Europe in January.
The highlight was a visit to Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
There was some excellent work on show in the temporary exhibitions: really interesting paintings/drawings by (the poet) Federico García Lorca, doodles by Frans Kafka, Yves Klein, two Picassos, and some great original photographic prints by luminaries that are rarely exhibited.
This visit and getting some food spent the time fairly well.
The bus to / from the airport to the city centre was only 5 Euros each way and well worth it.
Next stop Manchester. Oh well, it had to come to an end some time and somewhere.Read more
