It was a wonderful way to see Madrid. They have two lines running, one that takes you through the more modern Madrid, and one that takes you through historic Madrid. I spent Tuesday just riding the routes all day and looking for places I wanted to get off and explore on Wednesday. On the second day, I would get off at certain spots, explore and then get back on to the next stop.
Tuesday night Kathryn and I ate near the hotel at an inexpensive little restaurant near the hotel. We had blown the food budget on Monday with Clara, and decided to try to make some of it up. The gazpacho was great, the best I think I have ever had (yes – Alicia – it was pureed and yes I think it was better than yours!)
I had a wonderful lunch on Wednesday at a café near the Royal Palace. It was a three course meal for 17 euros. Gazpacho, Grilled salmon with a creamed vegetable sauce and puff pastry, and rice pudding for dessert.
Kathryn and I walked down to the same area for dinner and sat with a view of the Royal Palace. A very good dinner.
Ok.... You have NEVER had my gazpacho!! Lies. You have only had your chunky salsa gazpacho...
