After a 6.5 hour bus ride from Sevilla, which was a little rough for me as I get car sick, we arrived in Madrid. Our hotel, Hotel Plaza Mayor, (pictures coming soon) is really nice and in a great location right in front of the Plaza Mayor which is a huge cobble stone square where bullfights and executions used to occur. Now there are just nice restuarants, performers, etc. Here. We walked alittle through the square and went to this salad buffet La Fresca because we were starving.
We went back to the hotel for a little and went on a self-guided walk to Plaza Espana which had a lit up fountain and statue that can be seen in picture two. Then we went to a bar, ojos Negro or black eyes for some beers before heading home. So far we really like Madrid and both agree that it reminds us a little of New York City. The weather has been a little iffy but the forecasts look good for the rest of the week which we are excited about!
