A pincho of tortilla española that was big enough for us to share plus toast and ham.

One of the many stained glass windows. This one is the ascention.

The fresco in the dome of the Royal Palace's chapel. I got in trouble for taking a picture of it.

Roasted suckling pig for lunch. Sorry, not sorry (well, a little bit sorry).

Delicious churros con chocolate. We'll have to compare and contrast at different chocolaterías.

Madrid Part 1

30. august 2023, Spanien ⋅ 🌙 77 °F

We put 8 miles on our feet exploring some of Madrid's delights. Started out with a simple but filling breakfast, walked up Calle Atocha through Plaza Mayor to the Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena. We toured the cathedral and marveled at its beauty. One room covered in gorgeous mosaics didn't allow photography so you'll have to check it out for yourselves.

Next we toured the Royal Palace and said hi to King Felipe and Queen Letizia (ok, it was a painting). Lots of beautiful art and tapestries. After that, a well earned lunch in the cave at El Botín, operating since 1752.

For dessert, churros and chocolate at Chocolatería San Gines. Yum!

We did a little more walking and window shopping, then picked up some Jamón Iberico de Bellota to nibble on later.Læs mere
