The previous day we went to sleep around 11PM (after being awake for 24 hours) as a result of our self imposed sleep deprivation. We woke up at noon 🙁
We went to El Retiro.
This is Avenida de México.
La Puerta de Alcalá.
We have been in Madrid several times and never went inside the Palacio de Comunicaciones (Cibeles Palace). It is a nice place to study.
Plaza de Cibeles.
I loved the last “animal” this kid draw. SIN nombre means “without a name”. She invented it 🙂
There was a book fair in Paseo de Recoletos.
El Palacio Real de Madrid (Royal Palace of Madrid) charges 10 Euros per person for admission. Before going to Spain we spent a weekend in Asheville, NC. We stayed in one of the hotels at the Biltmore State and even though we were “their guests” our fee to access the Biltmore House was 60 dollars each. Of course we didn´t see the Biltmore House, I guess it is very beautiful and unique.
Well…….. I would rather see a Castle anyway. Although I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of the inside rooms.

A few pictures on our way back to the center of Madrid.

Pimientos de Padrón and more San Miguel.
It rained everyday while we were there.
At the Reina Sofía Museum.
