Today was a travel day. After the 3 hr train ride, we checked into our hotel and everybody had a rest. Hit the town in the late afternoon and enjoyed a beautiful walk through the Puerta Del Sol area. Saw the outside of the Palacio Real, and then visited Madrid's Plaza Mayor. The buildings are brilliant, but the charm is in the wide pedestrian-only streets and the endless spectacle of street performers, vendors and masses of people.
Everyone was thrilled to eat mexican food tonight -- La Morena set us up with deliciosos nachos and tacos. A great afternoon and evening in Madrid. Honorable mention goes to the street performer who goes by the name 'cabron' ... the photos tell the tale.
