Madrid was even hotter than Barcelona! Our first day there, it hit at least 100 degrees F. But what can you do. I decided to take Daniela on Agatha’s Walking Tour of Madrid. It goes a little something like this:
- Start at charming Plaza de Santa Ana
- Down through Puerta del Sol, notice the bear & tree statue; the symbol of Madrid
- Walk over to Plaza Mayor for a meal (this time, we ate at the Museo de Jamon)
- Next, over to the classy Mercado de San Miguel
- Then, a visit into the Almudena Cathedral, where we saw a little boy praying for Spain to win the World Cup match
- A visit to the Royal Palace
- Cut across Plaza del Oriente to catch the metro back to our hotel
