Day 3: March 25, 2023
Buenos dias Madrid! We woke up to a splendid buffet breakfast and drove into the city where we met our local guide, Cristina. She gave us a driving tour of the city, stopping at the Plaza de Toros Monumental de Las Ventas, the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (go Real Madrid!) and finally at the Temple de Debod. Walking along with a beautiful panoramic city view, we passed by Plaza de Espana and the Royal Palace. While we didn’t get to visit ALL 3,418 rooms, Cristina did a fantastic job showing us a part of it — I guess we’ll have to come back to see the rest!
Free time for lunch was spent around Plaza Mayor — some of us tried bocadillos con calamares, tortilla and tapas! 🇪🇸
Breckenridge then checked out the Prado Museum while Alma school explored Retiro Park (and its roman columns!) 🌳
Dinner was at the beautiful La Catedral, where we were treated to family-style meals, sharing dishes such as tomatoes con queso, cheese croquettes, pastries con boletus, BBQ Iberian pork and a Yogurt mousse with strawberry syrup for dessert.
Delicioso!
