28 May 2019 Madrid






Our day begins with eggs (with black pepper) and drip filtered coffee, before walking 15 minutes to the Prado Museum. We think that maybe every painting by Goya resides here, including the “black” ones. There are some Raphael’s, surprisingly a couple of David Roberts and even more surprising, no Picasso’s!!!!!!! We had arranged a visit inside the Royal Palace on line for 2:00pm, so have to leave the museum after only a few hours. Interesting that the usual online sites didn’t have any tickets for today, but the Palace site did. The interior is fancy and has some great historical documents including the abdication of King Juan Carlos. For fancy imagine a porcelain covered wall. We also check out the throne room as opposed to a throne room. Later in the day we find a largish supermarket with the best fresa (sorry, strawberries) ever and they go very well with yoghurt but less so with radlers.
