More miscellaneous scenes from our week, April 1-9, in Madrid...
 |
| Pano of Plaza Mayor |
 |
| Us, there |
 |
| Time for more churros, in the very popular San Gines shop |
 |
Another favorite stop, the Mercado San Miguel, once a great mercado,
now a tapas department store, where, without the hustle and bustle of
a tapas bar, you can shop for the items you might like (and in English too) |
 |
| But a great place to sample things, visually and tastefully |
 |
| More architecture |
 |
| Street scene |
 |
| Back at San Miguel...simple foods, simply prepared |
 |
| City portal by the Retiro park |
 |
As I have always maintained, if a hamlet/village/town/city doesn't have
an Irish bar, it probably doesn't have a bar |
 |
In the Plaza de Cibeles, the Cybele Palace...early 20th century, originally
the city's PTT building (postal/telephone/telegraph), now a municipal
government building...but beauteous nonetheless |
 |
Also at the Plaza de Cibeles, a two-block long row of artesans' shops, the
Paseo de la Artesiana, one of the best we've seen
|
 |
| All about reading |
