We stayed two nights in Madrid so we could see the town. We are in a small Best Western hotel right in the middle of downtown. It is nothing special but works. We are a little spoiled after the Paradors. We were slow getting out again. We did not do the hotel’s breakfast. I was ready for a Starbucks.
We spent all day walking the streets. It is a fun town to walk in. There are plazas everywhere. They are all a little different. This is a lovely city with a lot of cars, motorcycles and people. There seemed to be more motorcycles and less scooters but still a lot of both. Like everywhere else parking is almost impossible and the motorcycles and scooters park anywhere they want to. Madrid is a relatively new city compared to most the places we have visited but there are still many interesting building even if they are only 400 years old.
Our choice for lunch was Burger King. It tasted great. We never eat there at home.
We ended up at the Prado. We are really not fans of classical art but we felt we had to go there. We had been there years ago but another trip was needed. It is a very popular place to visit both for the locals and the tourists. We enjoyed walking through the halls but it would take more exposure than that for us to appreciate it.
We are out of here tomorrow. We have a 1 pm flight and following the sun we get into Tucson at 5pm the same day. We are both looking forward to the plane ride and to being back in Tucson.
