We had a lot of fun on our short trip to Madrid last week. Odile and Coralie were very excited to go by plane, so they explored the airport and were amazed at the many planes they saw there. There was also a little bit of art to have fun with.
By early afternoon we reached our flat in the city centre. The girls had fun exploring it.
After relaxing a bit we went out to eat something.
And then walked around the city a little.
The next day after breakfast we had a tour of the city in a bus which started and ended at the Prado museum.
We had lunch and then … Churros con chocolate.
After that we went to El Corte Inglés – a huge department store with a nice view of the city from the top …
… and a big department of toys. The girls had a lot of fun – and I bought two new dolls 🙂
In the evening we attended a Flamenco tablao with tapas and Sangria – without the girls…
…who also had a lot of fun in our apartment.
On Thursday we walked through the streets and in the late morning visited the Reina Sofia Museum. We saw the Guernica painting and they also had a Flamenco department.
The girls had fun in the museum gardens.
For lunch we had burritos.
We walked over the Plaza Mayor …
… Puerta del Sol with the famous statue…
… to the Palacio Real.
The girls had ice-cream in the garden because it was so hot.
On the last day after breakfast we just walked a little about the city and visited different places like the Puerta de Toledo.
And then it was already time to go to the airport and fly back home.
We came back with lots of nice impressions and many souvenirs.
On Sunday the girls helped me make a tortilla de patatas.
I think the girls are looking forward to cooking more Spanisch meals.
