Guernica and Indian Food

In our last full day in Spain, we decided to hit some of our favorite spots again. We started at the Plaza de la Puerta del Sol and headed to the Plaza Mayor. There were considerably more people out now that it has stopped raining. We decided to do some shopping and tucked into the corner of a little souvenir shop, was the t-shirt that Katy had been looking for since we arrived in Spain.

Our main reason for going back to the Palacio Real was to hit up the gift shop that we missed the other day. However, there was much more to the Palace grounds than we had seen the other day. It is amazing how much you miss when it is pouring. The Plaza de Oriente gives a great view of the Palace. There are about 20 marble statues of ancient monarch lining the walkways of the plaza. We then went down to the Jardines de Sabatini - gardens that are overlooked by the palace. It was a spectacular view.

After a bite to eat, we headed to the Reina Sofia museum to see Picasso's Guernica - his most famous. It was spectacular. There were also many paintings by Picasso, Dali, Miro and many more.

The Reina Sofia was our last stop in Madrid, so we headed back to Pat's flat. After Pat got back from work, we headed out to an Indian restaurant for dinner with a bunch of Pat's friends. The food was great and the company was too.

Thanks for following our adventures in Spain! We will see you soon.
