Today was all about Madrid. We started the day with a bus tour of the capital city. We saw the bull ring, got out & took pics at the Real Madrid stadium. We made our way along Gran Via to the Plaza de España before our final stop...the Royal Palace. We took a fantastic tour of the palace and saw all the beautiful rooms, chandeliers, and clocks. Next up was a stroll to a Tapas lunch via Plaza Mayor. Tapas lunch was fun as rounds & rounds of food came our way. From jamón serrano to manchego cheese, patatas bravas, tortilla española, calamari, and croquetas...ending with Churros y Chocolate all while being entertained by tuna musicians.
After lunch we had free time, so we headed to Retiro park, got ice cream, and then the kids rented row boats on the lake. We then headed back to Sol for some shopping before dinner....quite a full day!
Tomorrow we leave Madrid and will be touring Toledo in the a.m. and then we're off to Sevilla. I'll try to get pics loaded but the kids are sucking up the WiFi, so we'll see. ;)
Hasta la próxima
