Last night we ventured out for a tapas evening to a well known spot called Calle de la Cava Baja. It’s a street full of bars and tapas style food options. We went a little early, around 7pm, but it usually gets lively from 9pm. Enjoyed a little tapas crawl stopping at 4 different bars for drinksand food, good fun night out.
Today we visited the Royal Pace. Definitely recommend this as a place to see, and get a self guided audio device which costs 5 euros. The palace has 3,000 rooms believe it or not and we probably saw about 20. The grandeur and opulence of the place is obscene, but you have to marvel at the scale of what has been built and the architecture, furniture, furnishings and so on is jaw dropping. Another example of what us brilliant human beings are capable of.
After that it pissed down with rain all afternoon in Madrid which we weren’t expecting, so hunkered down in a bar for a couple of beers.
