A leisurely day.
Lazy lunch at a cafe, yummy paella. Then strolled through the gardens , passed the palace . Took some crazy pictures. Visited some shops. In the afternoon sat in a cafe at the walkway of the busiest street, beer and red wine spritzer ( everybody had these two on their table, so we joined in) . While we were there saw a bunch of women trying to get clients. All followed the same pattern, short dress/skirt, cigarette in hand, leaning against a tree. I had never seen a prostitute before this year's travels, now seen them in Greece, Italy and Spain.
Went to the Real Madrid stadium, Santiago Bernabeu, Jeevan's thing, I tagged along. Then spent the rest of the time eating various tapas till we made our way to a pub we liked. It was bustling and when we left after ten, it was still full, hmmm it's Monday night. The Sol plaza was full, a protest of some kind was occurring but was peaceful so had some ice cream and sat there for sometime.
In comparison to Paris our pace was much slower in Madrid.
