It’s only a short
walk to Plaza Mayor where we meet our walking tour guide. Can’t see
much of the Plaza because it’s closed off due to preparation for
the Euro Champions League Final later in the week. Our tour guide, Irish by birth,
shows us the “ugliest” church in Spain as well as the Royal
Palace. We see other historical sites including where an attempted
assassination of a King and Queen took place last century. After the tour we continue the wander through the palace gardens before meandering back
to our apartment after a late (by Australian standards) lunch. It’s strange what you miss
overseas. It took us a while, but we did eventually find and buy pimienta negra (black pepper).
