We finished our trip with two days in Madrid. While there are tons of things to see, do and eat in this great city, we focused on visiting the Prado – one of the great museums of the world, eating at the world’s oldest restaurant and learning how to make paella the classic way. In this blog there are a collection of images shot during these days, except for Botin, a subject of the next posting.
