Madrid part I

Between the church & our friend's house, we did not have much time to explore Madrid. And we couldn't stay longer as F had another work trip. Nevertheless, we contented ourselves with museums & feasting on spanish tapas.


The Palacio Real and a beautiful sunset on our first day.


Charming old doors


Forgotten alleys were aplenty... Madrid was quieter and less rowdy than Barcelona.


The 17th century Plaza de la Villa was my favorite square in Madrid. Small and intimate, we came back to it a few times during our walk back to the hotel.


Plaza Mayor, the main square of Madrid but it lacked the charm and authenticity of the smaller squares.
