I wrote a post all about our delays with travel so that we arrived in Madrid at least 14 hours later than we were supposed to arrive and had to stay in a hotel in Heathrow Friday night rather than Madrid, but I haven't been able to post it!!!
But eventually we did get to Madrid, more than a little tired. Our hotel seemed lovely, located right across from Plaza Colon (Christopher Columbus Square)
We couldn't check in until 3:00 so Lola, our Insight tour director, recommended places to see and where to eat so we went to explore into the old town.
It was fun looking at all the beautiful buildings
We had a tasty lunch at the Puerto Rico Restaurant just off Grand Via, the Main Street of Madrid. It was a busy Saturday afternoon.
We were happy to see a sign welcoming refugees on Madrid's beautiful city hall.
When we returned we got to put our feet up in our beautiful hotel room at the Gran Amelia Fenix and put our feet off before going off to a welcoming reception and dinner and a bit of a night tour
The streets were alive with people on a Saturday night.
Dinner was lovely and our tour group seem very nice.
The streets at night were stunning, even a new moon!!!
But we were a little exhausted and looked forward to not having to get up at 4:30 am. Stay tuned for the Prada and Segovia!!!
