Last day in Madrid

Tony went off an adventure on his own to see if he could hit a bucket of balls - not so lucky- and to see San Bernarbieu stadium  

I fiddled about at the laundromat, had a haircut and colour, bought some sandals, checked out a few fabric shops. Generally I got to know the culture of the town. You learn a lot in a laundromat! And I didn’t take any photos in there. 

Here are some I took while I walked around the city

 A beautiful park - again land donated by some generous king. It was lovely with lots of trees and grassed areas for people to sit and picnic. It was refreshing to walk through as it was a hot day. 

this is a play area for children. 

the arch of triumph 

statue for Columbus

amazing buildings built 19th century. 

one of hundreds. 

and another. 

this was interesting providing shade for people to shop. 

Dad’s local! Every country loves an English pub. 

and this is Spanish pub where we had tapas. This was 6.30 so still a bit quiet. 

the olives in Spain were delicious. I am not sure what they do but they are better than ours. 

1. and that’s Madrid. We went to San Sebastián in the morning. Another early rise for a long train trip of 5 .5 hours.
