Churros at the famous San Gines! Dipped in chocolate, this is fab with some strong café (ok, con leche). Both Bek and I agreed though, that this is only good here and we won't attempt to recreate this at home.
At the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, we ran in quickly to see Picasso's Guernica. I won't attempt to go into a discourse on Picasso's painting, but I will say each time I visit an art museum, I learn so much!
Cervantes memorial. This is Don.
The Plaza Mayor, site of many historical events including Spanish Inquisition trials.
The Museo del Prado was a treasure trove of Spanish masters like El Greco, Velazquez and Goya. I was also introduced to Hieronymus Bosch (El Bosco) here. This is a Velazquez statue at the entrance. I like his poofy hair.
Leaving Madrid, we ran into miles and miles and miles of olive trees. All that you see here is olives! All olives, all the time.
The sunflowers were all in bloom too! Miles and miles of sunflowers. Apparently the EU sanctioned this crop this year.
