Madrid 28th March 2017

This morning we got up had breakfast at the hotel then headed out to the train station. Caught the 10am train and it takes 35 minutes to Atocha station which is right in the heart of Madrid. It only costs 6.80 euros return. It is quite an impressive train station. We caught the Madrid tourist bus as in order to see as much as possible. The architect is stunning I don't think I have ever seen such beautiful buildings in all different styles. We just hopped on and off when places took our fancy. We stopped for lunch at the Cafe Vergara in Vergara Street, it was so quaint and authentic. I had gazpacho soup, grilled chicken with rice and chocolate tarte washed down with a glass of rose. Arthur had chicken soup, iberico pork with Roquefort sauce, cheesecake and a glass of red wine. It was lovely just chilling. We then continued our bus trip. More wandering about then we caught the train back to our hotel. We had a fabulous day and the weather was beautiful. I am so pleased that I managed to see Madrid that's another place I can tick off my bucket list and my other place on my bucket list is Santander which I will see tomorrow. We just had a walk around Alcala de Henares before turning in. Early night for early start tomorrow.
