Around Madrid in 48 Hours

We managed to pack a lot into two days!

Friday night/ El noche de viernes:

-Around 10 pm: We arrive in España!

-Settle into Hostel Loyola! What a perfect name.
 
 
-Then off to the best tapas y sangria ever.
 
 
-Bedtime. Traveling is tiring! Buenas noches!

Saturday/sabado:
 
-Breakfast, which is pretty difficult to find on a Saturday morning. Most people are still asleep from their late night out! We still managed to find amazing food.
 

-A brief detour at Dunkin Coffee. I was happy to see the first Dunkin in forever but it was an imposter of Dunkin Donuts! How does one dunk coffee?


-Museo Nacional del Prado, home of Velasquez. I tried to get pictures but then got yelled at. I'm such a badass.

- Parque del Retiro. It was so beautiful even though it was cold and not as colorful as usual.
 


 
-Then we met up with Loyola friends studying in Spain at the market, which was so great! The tapas and mojito didn't hurt either.


-Dinner and flamenco performance!


-Churros y chocolate! Yes, I understand that I am talking about food a lot. No shame.
 
 
-Then we were going to go to the ice bar, but decided against it because we didn't really want to pay to be cold...

Sunday/domingo:
 
-Breakfast at the fanciest McDonald's I've ever seen in my life. It was actually good!

-Mass

-El Palacio
 
 
 -A little souvenir shopping

-Alcala to meet our friend's host family and have lunch with them! Special guests include the cutest puppy on earth, and scary shrimp with eyes.
 
 

 
-Walking around Alcala and saying goodbye to everyone... well, not goodbye. Hasta luego!



Until later, Madrid!
