29th March 2007 - Day 363
Today went to the Reina Sofia - saw a bit of Salvador Dali, Piccasso and 20th Century Art. The museum was a modern conversion of a hospital and well worth a visit. To be honest Madrid is an amazing city and worth a weekend trip sometime, so much to see and do!! Had very fishy tapas at La Latina in a corner bar (plate full of anchovies and bowl full of potatoes). VIPs (chain burger store) for tea. Went the cinema to see the Good German - half in German half in English, with spanish subtitles for the German bit!!
30th March 2007 - Day 364
Last day in Madrid - oh no, back to reality soon!! Headed to the Bornemisza Thyssen Museo for some more culture, to finish off our threesome of museums. This place housed a mixture of art and sculptures, some Degas. Shopped at Callao - bags and clothes. Had lunch at a cool modern restaurant at Ene, in La Latina, bargain 11 euro menu del dia. Spent our last evening walking around central Madrid looking for a nice Jazz bar, found a really cool place called Populart - smoky jazzy bar!! Really cool night to end our trip.
