Only really had one full day in Madrid, so we tried to make it count. Started off with another free walking tour that was given by our hostel. We love these tours because it's a cool way to learn about the history of the city as well as all the historical, beautiful buildings. We started in Puerta del Sol (main city center), saw the Palacio Real (old royal palace), cathedral, and Plaza Meyor. After we went to see Cibeles Fountain, which is Real Madrid's godess, and the celebration center after they win. We checked out a few cool lookout spots which had views of the whole city. Busy, busy afternoon. After we got back, our hostel was hosting a Paella night so we thought we would try it, and good thing we did! Delicious!!
It's a traditional Spanish food, with rice, veggies and seafood, and even better it was homemade!! Ended our night with the pub crawl and met tons of new people from our hostel. Ending our last few hours in Madrid we took a quick trip to see Plaza de Torres, which is the huge and beautiful bull fighting stadium!!
Now for the 5 hour bus ride and tonight we will be in Valencia!!
