AUGUST 2015 : SPAIN : Madrid

ULeaving Santiago. Bitter sweet. Time to move on.


Final images at the airport. 'Tit' cheese and the cathedral.


Even St James catering!



Arriving in Madrid. A family (2 adults and 2 young kids) with hundreds (nay thousands of bags), toys and a barking dog all got on the bus to the city.


So many people...Madrid is a huge city with a bustling population.



We are staying on Calle de la Montera on Plaza del Sol.

                                          

                                                           A central 2 star hotel, La Mirador.



       

                                     From our window, some interesting neighbours.



                                       

                                                        Summer sales. It's crazy!


        

            Others trying to sell their wares.


        

            With any sign of the policia they are off!

         

               38+ degrees, so lots of need of refreshments.

                                          

                                              Buskers abound.


         

            Crowds in the Plaza Mayor. Under renovation by several hotel chains

        

          Traditional restaurant recommended by hotel. Excellent.
