a week ago we went for a short trip to Madrid, just 3 days but I did get to see a lot and was impressed by this nice city.
a lot of granite everywhere, a bit harsh and cold but easy to liven up as here.
Reine Sophia, a very modern museum with many treasures. Finally saw Guernica in the original.
saw the obligatory flamenco show.
took a long walk in the Retiro park and saw this glasshouse.
the most amazing part last, a wonderful train station including a palm garden and a turtle pond.
obviously I could not get enough of them.

So, Madrid is still doing the Don Quixote thing. I still have my gold on black linocuts. magnificent.
Loved the glass house and the turtles of course.
Glad to see you liked Madrid M.!
Was Guernica still surrounded by a crowd of Japanese tourists with cameras?
Most interesting painting in Reine Sophia for me was Dali’s “Muchacha en la Ventana” (“girl at the window”).
