Our last day in Madrid!

Our last day in Madrid started with another beautiful morning. We had breakfast, got ready, and headed out with no real plan except to enjoy whatever the city had left to show us. After a few full days of sightseeing, it felt like we’d already seen most of Madrid, so this day was all about wandering and soaking it all in.

We strolled through the streets again, stopping whenever something caught our eye. One of our first stops was a vintage store filled with amazing pieces so many cool jackets, shirts, and old school gems. After that, we came across a quirky little postcard and souvenir shop. The whole place was so fun and colourful, with some of the coolest postcards we’d seen anywhere. Of course, we’d already bought ours the day before, so we just looked around and enjoyed the vibe.

From there, we wandered through a few cute neighbourhoods before deciding to head back to Retiro Park for lunch. We grabbed some foccaccias from a nearby cafe that were absolutely loaded and lookedso good. We made our way into the park. We found a sunny spot, sat down, and enjoyed our little picnic while taking in the energy around us.

After lunch, we couldn’t resist renting a paddle boat on the lake. It was only 6 euros for 45 minutes, which felt like such a bargain. The whole thing was adorable paddling around, listening to buskers along the shore, trying not to bump into anyone, and just enjoying the sunshine and the calm of the water. It was simple but honestly one of the highlights of the day.

Once our time was up, we returned the boat and left the park, slowly making our way back as the afternoon settled in. We stopped to pick up some snacks for our long bus ride the next day and then headed back to sort out our bags.

By 6 p.m. we were in the kitchen making dinner, then we showered, climbed into bed, and finished the night off with a movie, the perfect quiet ending to our time in Madrid. Oh and not to mention… whilst I was in the shower I asked Jayde if he wouldn’t mind cutting me up an apple. You wouldn’t believe what I came back to…. It turns out Jayde has a secreting talent of turning Apples into Swans….. so enjoy the photo of my beautiful Swan my beautiful boyfriend made me 🥺❤️

A relaxed and easy last day, exactly what we needed. We head to our second to last Country tomorrow which is just crazy!!! Where has the time gone!!Read more
