Our last morning in Madrid before heading north to Oviedo. This is our fifth visit and we seem to discover something new on every occasion. This time our hotel was so central, which made travelling around the city and dining so easy.
A bit more of an elaboration on the Museo CaixaForum. The stunning entrance.
The modern minimalist clean-lined, light interior.
The main stairway.
The main exhibition was from the American collector, Duncan Phillip's museum.
Including a Degas ... not featured in the Melbourne exhibition obviously
and some exquisite Pierre Bonnard's.
A short walk towards the El Retiro gardens
Bookseller market
A rose garden
Then a stone's throw to the station...and off we go...
A very comfortable 5 hour trip with music and movies.
From the hot plains...
to the mountains....
A budget hotel for our first night, 25 euros per person, near the old town.
Dinner at a traditional bar - battered cod and traditional finely sliced prosciutto dishes. We ate at 8 - most tables reserved from 9.45pm.
M&M
