An afternoon in Madrid

We finally found our way from Chamartin to Atocha station, then went in a 45 minute circle looking for our hotel, but finally stepped out to walk a bit this afternoon. Starting from Atocha station-


Past the plaza Carlos V,


The ministry of Agriculture!


Through the FABULOUS Parque del Buen Retiro -














Past the very ritzy Ritz Carlton Madrid,


complete with Bentleys and Rolls Royces.


Then on past the Prado museum, I think this is a former main entryway, if you expand it you'll see the names of all the Spanish masters -


And, after a small dinner and an ice cream bar, back to our hotel room with the very unique see-thru shower.






Last day tomorrow! Prado and the Royal Palace. Know what's really bugging me? I'm off the Camino and suddenly altogether too aware that I've been wearing the same two sets of clothes for six weeks! Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.............
