Dia seis

Today we walked around Madrid and played on the metro a bit. We visited the Mercado de San Miguel, tried to see Palacio Real but it was closed due to some official business so we will try again later, Real Jardin Botanical de Madrid, and Museo National del Prado

Some tapas and sangria 

Inside the mercado there are around 25 different vendors selling food, drinks, deserts, wine, fruits and vegetables, and a few other things. You just walk around and try a little here and there.

A random street in Madrid 

This is a monastery for nuns. They are never allowed to leave once they enter and pledge to serve. We didn't get to go on the tour but we will try again next week. 

Super old bookstore in Madrid. Around 100 years old. 

Looking out into the street from the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. 

The royal botanical gardens. 

We walked up on this bird taunting the cat who was completely unamused.
