My oh my, how we struggled to determine where we were. The women in my family are not renowned for their elocution and mastery of words so it comes as no surprise that in the space of two nights me and mum managed to travel around all European cities starting with M, when in fact we simply had a lovely time in Madrid, Spain.
Plaza Major (or in the delightful Yorkshire tones of my mother Play-o May-o) provided our first tapas meal of our stay, after which we embarked on a very long walk through the palace gardens and encountered our spanish counterparts (mother and daugther on holiday) on various occasions around the city. Our first evening was spent unknowingly in the red light district, where when finally seated in a restaurant that served other than burger and chips, and without the view of sex workers propositioning men.
We visited the Reine Sofia which is HUGGGEEEE! We only saw a fraction of it before tiring and having to eat tea and truffle cake, yummo. We also went to the Botanical Gardens and the Museo Del Prado which was beautiful.
