A brief flight from Barcelona to Madrid yesterday. This is the geographic center of Iberia and the capitol of Spain. So many periods of coquest in Spain have given it a rich heritage of mixed cultures, four official languages and seventeen "states". Our pre-trip group from Barcelona met with the main group and trip leader, for a welcome sangria and an evening walk through the crowded plazas of the city - the evening begins LATE here! Everyone out because of the beautiful Weather.
Today we dug right into the heart of big city life - our private coach tour of the highlights, al fresco lunch and afternoon on our own to explore the Prado Museum or Retiro Park. Tonight is our Welcome dinner at a fine restaurant!
