Today was planes trains and automobiles. We took the 3 hour train ride back to Seville, grabbed a cab to the airport and jumped on our flight to our final destination, Madrid. We landed in Madrid around 1:00. We were tired and hungry so Jeff stretched out for a bit while I relaxed and planned our 3 days in Madrid while sitting in Plaza de Espana. Our hotel was one block from here. The plaza has 2 main fountains and drew many locals for relaxing and sun bathing. After regaining our energy we were off to see the sights. We started by visiting the royal palace and walking through the garden that is at the one end of the palace. That evening we went to Plaza de Sol which is the very center of Madrid. From there we went to Plaza Mayor and walked around and had some snacks and drinks. We stopped in one fun bar for a mojito made with dark rum and brown sugar. Yum! This was a lively fun Jamaican type bar. As things were starting to close around 12:00 we went back to the hotel and stopped in at an irish pub, the Swan right next to our hotel. The owner of this pub was very friendly and had a celebratory drink with us. It was similar to banyols but maybe a bit sweeter.
