Madrid - Day 3

We had an easy morning whilst Dane did his washing. We had coffee and did a little shopping. We headed to Reina Sofia Museum where there was a Pablo Picasso exhibition to mark the 80 year reunion of the Gurneica painting. The exhibition showed drawings and his workings of this painting at the time and also for the Three Dancers and the Weeping Woman paintings. We had a look at some of the rest of the museum but there was so much to see! After we walked to the Mercado de San Miguel for some lunch. There were little tapas you could buy and we sat opposite drinking Aperol Spritz. We headed to the Royal Palace of Madrid where it was free entry for EU citizens after 6pm, so I got to use my British passport! The line was epic but we made it in and looked at the many chandeliers, luxurious furniture and room after room of,over the stop statues! Whilst we were in there we heard about the terrorist attacks on Las Ramblas Barcelona. It was quite a chilling feeling as we had been there just over two weeks ago. We sat cooling our feet in a big pond at Jardines de Sabatini. We brought some beer and chips and walked up to Parque de la Montana for the sunset. People were singing, there was a fire twirler and the weather was perfect, no breeze and warm. We then walked and found an outdoors tapas place for our last dinner together. We ate delicious food, the highlight being confit duck tacos.Baca lagi
