Madrid

Madrid was a chance to see another side of Spain. We went to the world famous Meseo del Prad0 to see Spanish art and Meseo Thyssen-Bornemisza to see the $300 million collection. The Palacio Real (palace) was the grandest of all the palaces we have seen and that is saying a lot!!!! Outside the Palace we had a romantic picnic with baguettes and olives and a busker playing Spanish guitar across the park!


We went to see a live Flamenco performance in an intimate theater- Casa Patas- it was very intense, Warren loved seeing their dramatic facials!! We had Churros, the local dessert - long donut dipped in syrupy hot chocolate at the famous cafe- Chocolateria San Gines.

We also spent some time shopping in the many outside malls - we can see why Posh and Becks liked it here!
