Spain 3

#30 Walk on Kilometer 0


This is where they calculate all distances from.  It is in the Plaza de Sol, which is a huge meeting point for Madrilenos.
Yep, that's my foot on kilometer 0

Sol

#42 Start a day with Churros at San Gines.

If you don't know what Churros are, they are these delightful deep fried batter sticks that you dip in sugar and/or drinking chocolate.  And they. are. DELICIOUS.

Di, super excited about San Gines

I'm telling you: go to Madrid just to have these.  WORTH IT.
It might look unassuming, but it is amazing.

This was not on the list, but I wanted a piece of Spanish pottery and this one was in my guidebook.  It was an adorable mom and pop shop that was literally filled to the brim with pottery.




#40 Wander up Gran Via

Gran Via is a great shopping street that also has several theaters.  The best part of it is the architecture of the buildings.

Us on Gran Via

The awesome buildings on Gran Via.  Di could tell you way more about them than I can.
#44 See the cupula of the Metropolis building


Until next time...
